Thank you Sam Strano
Hello all,
Let me start by saying, if you have been following all my recent suspension threads, there has been very good in depth discussions on which springs, shocks, strut mounts, and sway bars to go with.
In brief I had decided to go with H&R race springs, Koni sports, Steeda HD mounts, and an adj. strano 1" rear sway bar only. I went ahead and placed the order with Sam.
After some phone tag, we were able to go over my order prior to finally deciding on what to get.
Sam Strano was incredibly knowledgeable, very nice, and listened. Our conversation lasted about 30 min. In the end, I realized that I would have been very unhappy had I purchased the above items as they are not the combination that would suite my goals best. I completely changed which components I am getting.
Sam Strano is not a brand loyalist, he recommends parts that will match an individuals goals. He also is not pushy in any way, and actually suggested cheaper alternatives, again based on the goals I have for my car.
I am confident, had I ordered these above parts from other bigger vendors, that no one would have called me to go over everything and make sure I understood what I was getting and how the car would perform.
I guarantee that any potential savings that could be made by shopping around and buying from the cheapest vendor is not worth the piece of mind in knowing you are making a good decision and that you will get want you want out of the car.
Thank you Sam Strano, this forum and the mustang enthusiast community is lucky to have a small business owner who cares and takes the time with his customers.

You would think with over 1,000 posts this guy would know what we really want, 1. Mustang **** and 2. a parts list. Haha. Come on man, get with the program 
Also, I agree with his statements about Strano completely. A nice guy and very knowledgeable about our cars and their handling. I still need to get sway bars from him..

I just orders v3s from Sam last week. Great guy. Extremely knowledgeable. As you said, I probably could have found a cheaper price but I knew exactly what I was getting from Sam and what it would do to help achieve my goals. Thanks Sam
