Installed the STR's today. Initial impression after short test drive is that they are slightly firmer than stock, but no by much. They do feel much more composed at speed when hitting uneven pavement.

So you like them? I am leaning towards lakewoods or stranges.
you don't care much about turning left or right? lol
That's why I'm torn between what to do. I'm trying to find the best budget shocks and strut with a little more emphasis on the drag strip but still ok for DD.
Does anyone on here have billet specialties RS Series or Street Lite wheels?
I've also looked at QA1's, anything with some adjustability will probably give you some compromise between the two. I don't have any experience with it though so I can't be sure.
I've heard mixed reviews of QA1 quality and customer service.
Autoanything.com has Koni yellow's (adjustable) for around $550 shipped if you can catch a 15% off sale. That's a great deal and gives you flexibility.
Yes those. Chose your car as a GT, and it'll give you an option to add however many front "shocks" and rear shocks. It says front shocks but they are the struts you need.
I've had mine in for a little over a week now with HR SS springs. Have my shocks/struts set soft and the ride quality has only slightly gone down. It seems like it's just really rough parts of the road you can feel more, regular driving is normal.
Haven't messed with the adjustments much except before I put them in so hopefully after I get it aligned I'll see what it's like making them more firm.
Also while researching to see what shocks/struts I wanted I read how great of customer service and warranty the Konis have if that helps any.
When I get some, the rears will come first. I won't be able to drop that kind of coin at once.
I don't blame you. Just make sure you pay attention to their deals. No matter what when the chat thing pops up asking if there is anything they can do, ask them to lower the price. haha And they'll give you a 10% off code.
They always told me Koni never qualified for any 15% deals so I guess I got shafted? :shrug:
Either way if you don't feel like waiting you can always get a 10%
I will give it a try, I've just heard how noisy strange's are. I'm most likely going with big and little's (Summit Fast Fives).
The "loyalty" code still works (15%), and I tried it with a set of Koni yellows. :beer:
I just tried it, that helps a bunch!!! Thanks

How would these be? Under $400 with the discount. Would these be OK for street/strip?

Right now tight on money, would these do the trick? Wanting something to help get rid of the bottoming out in the rear shocks.
Would it be better to get these for the time being? Or just replace the shocks with something a little better and not worry about the struts right now? Thanks!

I vote for waiting a little longer and saving up for the adjustable Koni's. If you HAVE to get something right now, at least get the rear Koni STRs.
So the STR's are good just non adjustable?
Anything on the Eibach's?
thanks man!!!
