Suspension specials: Includes Koni, PHB's, Swaybars

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely ends on 10/21.......

4 Koni shocks gets free ground shipping anywhere in the lower 48. That's an average savings of about $20 a set, but sometimes more depending on location. Koni shock sets start @ $705 for the set of 4 and go up from there depending on options chosen.

Strano Performance 35 Hollow front/22 Hollow rear swaybar set including new urethane bushings and high tensile strength end-links. Built exclusively for us to my specifications by Addco. $379 and free ground shipping to the lower 48 states. A savings of $15-30 depending on where you live. Only a set of bars is eligible for the free shipping, individual bars are subject to freight charges.

Strano Peformance/Addco adjustable Panhard bars. The Chrome-Moly/QA1 XM series rod-ended bar is now $159.00, and *also* is subject to free ground shipping in the lower 48.

Again, this is going to last through October 21st, and no longer. Feel free to call me with any questions.

how much for the "Pat Salerno" off-the-shelf Koni SA's for my C5 Z06

Don't really know if I am running it nationally next year or not.... Probably would be fine for everything except Nationals and then I have my eye on a certain car that's local to me for that....

$952 total to the door.

BTW, I got some new dyno curves of some "other" Koni's that are custom built for someone else. The fronts are pretty much identical to the off the shelf 3013's, and the rears are not much different at all..........................

How much for just a 35mm hollow bar shipped?

PM sent

A Hollow 35mm to Illnois would run about $215-$220 delivered to the door. Estimate as actual shipping varies wtih location.

how much weight saving will I get from the hollow bars ?
I presently have the 35mm solid and 21mm
Thanks.
what about the upper 10 ? since I'm not in the lower 48.

I believe the hollow 35 is 13 lbs lighter than the solid 35 and the rear bar is 6 lbs lighter than a 21mm solid (as I remember). I know that both bars are light (I've had both), really light.

Front bar is on the order of 13-14 pounds lighter, depending on the scale. That's comparing the solid ST bar to my hollow bar.

The hollow 22 rear bar is about 4.5 pounds lighter than a 19mm bar and about 5.5-6 lighter than a solid 21 bar, all of which is also unsprung weight as well.

Can't help you on the free shipping in Canada because the cost generally a bit higher. But I'd be willing to discount the bars by roughly the amount of ground shipping costs to Upstate NY. That'll save a few bucks.

hmmm... we need to talk.
I want to bring the weight under 4k lbs.
unsprung weight is always the best place to reduce.
double winner.

well, you know where to find me.

Would these sway bars help on a stock suspension car? im guessing it will help obviously with the turns and such? no?

Yes, upgrading the sway bars is a good idea.

As far as I'm concerned the right bars and the right shocks are the two most important parts of the suspension. Will bars help a stock car? A lot. However it's important to know what you are trying to fix or adjust about the car's behavior so we can use the correct parts.

Holly crap, how did you get that heavy to start with? Aren't these cars 3500 lbs stock?

I'll supply a shameless plug for Sam's hollow rear bar; just holding it, you think, wow this is light! Comes with some nice hardware and bushings too. Something else I noticed is this bar has more differential clearance than the solid 21 mm GM bar I had been using; something nice for those of us with a big rear! (the 9 inch)

Well when i planned to do some suspension, i was gonna call you up Sam, if i did the shocks, i was gonna get some revalves from you. Once i get a steady cashflow, you will hear from me

hell yeah.
btw Mike... what you doing this weekend... maybe we should get together or something... weather is crappy, but stilll.

his car is very stock... just wants to improve it without going bankrupt.

well...
to start off, I have a convertible (~+300lbs)
I also have:
steel rollbar (+~70lbs maybe)
17x11 + tires (~220lbs)
steel driveshatf (~+?)
KBDD SFCs (~+?)
9"
STB
35mm/21mm swaybars

For sure I have other stuff that added weight to it that I can't remember... oh well !
Oh yeah... me

So, the 17X11 wheels/tires are 220 lbs over the stock 17X9.5 wheels/tires? I would think that you only add additional weight over the stock wheel/tire weight, vs. total weight overall. Same for the 9 inch rear, just how much it weighs more than the OE 10-bolt.

yeah.... but I don't remember how much 17x9 w/ tires were... I only know the full weight of 17x11 w/ tires.
Hence, why I did not put the + for the tires.
there was a post during the installation of my 9" about the weight difference... don't remember... was spring 2004.

sorry for thread hijacking, Sam.

No problem on the Hi-jack. It's about weight, and my bars are indeed lighter, so I guess it's relevant.

BTW, did you call me Eugenio? There was some confusion here yesterday and I'm not sure if you did or not.

I did call but been swamped lately...
I'll surely give you a call when spring gets closer to close the deal.
