Official Introduction

Hey everyone,

I'll only keep you for a second. I just wanted to officially introduce myself and my company as a Supporting Vendor here on TheMustangSource.com. I'll keep it brief and to the point.

My name is Sam Strano. I own Strano Performance Parts in Brookville Pennsylvania. I currently have a 2011 5.0 w/Brembo's. I previously owned a 2007 GT. I've driven a 2007 Shelby GT for 3.5 years for SCCA Solo Events, and my girlfriend had a 2007 V-6 as well.

I'm a 13 time SCCA National Champion. All in Pony-cars of some sort (I also have a Camaro---don't be upset). The last 7 titles have been in Fords....

I sell performance parts, and have a background you won't find other places. I make these things turn, and have a track record doing so. I also tell it like it is because as much as I'm here to make a living, I'm also a car-guy and have myself been railroaded into certain parts I didn't need or that were not helpful to my end goal. I figure it this way: If you are happy with my work, even if it means I sold you less than you might have been looking for--you're more likely to be a return customer and that's better in the long run for both of us.

I carry a large variety of products. In fact I have more different suspension parts than most of the big players. When I recommend something it's not because I can't sell you something else. That's not always the case other places--often you are told what they have to sell. I like to give options, even if all the options aren't what I might use, I like to give you the choice. But I'm here to talk and answer questions. I do make a few of my own parts when I feel I can do a better job. For instance I have my own Sway Bars made for S197's that are both adjustable and hollow. I'm a Steeda and MM dealer, I sell Tokico, Koni, Eibach, KW, AST, Bilstein dampers. I have Strano bars, Hotchkis, Eibach, Steeda too. I pretty much stick with undercar hard parts.

If it's a shock, strut, spring, swaybar, Subframe connector, differential, camber plate, brake parts, or exhaust, I can help. I do carry other things like the entire Steeda catalog, intakes, tuners of various brands, etc.

I'm a *very* small company--It's pretty much just me. I do my best to keep up with my website (and you can order directly from the website). *BUT* if you don't see something please call me!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time the read. I look forward to helping you guys and gals out.

Hey Sam - is there a site (or book) that is sort of a 'suspension for dummies' to learn what the different parts do and some basic suspension geometry?



And you still carry Watts links, right?
