I've bought all of my bits & pieces from Sam and he will not steer you wrong. Give him a call and tell him what your plans are for the car and he will recommend what to do. I road race & autocross my car and Sam's setup is spot on.

Just FYI, I'm running Strano sprigns, Koni SA's up front, Bilstein HD's in the back, Suspension Techniques 35mm front bar, Stranro 22mm rear bar and a rod ended adjustable panhard bar.

I just bought a set of strano springs, koni SAs all the way around and a adj panhard all from him. I called him up and he gave me a good bit of information and led me down the right path on suspension.

I have purchased Koni SA's, panhard rod, front rear sway bars, brake pads, motor mounts and upper a-arm offset bushings. I would have also purchased T2R but he was out of stock and the ground control coil over set up, but he doesnt carry that anymore. After dealing with GC I can see why.

GC coil over kit with springs and a sway bar. Also bought brake fluid from him fwiw. Supporting Sam supports autocrossing, so that's one more reason to buy from him.

A brief answer to your question... --

all of them.

Seriously,
Koni Sports, Panhard Bar, Strut Tower brace, steel brake lines, T2R diff, energy suspension endlinks and bushings... I guess that's it. -- fluids too..

Sam is great. Honest, straightforward and helpful. He wants to help you go fast in your car with as little $ as possible. he's the best , a true A+++++

To answer your original question, I ordered Strano's revalved Bilstein shocks to replace the crappy orange DeCarbons and also front swaybar endlinks.

He is VERY knowledgeable and I highly recommend not only ordering through him, but talking with him before you place an order because he will be sure you are ordering the correct parts you need to achieve whatever goal you set out to reach.
