Re: More strut stuff: SPAX shocks

[snoalh@unx.sas.com]

Good point!  To be honest, I do not know anything about SPAX's North American
support facilities.  I took Stu's word that he would stand behind the shocks.
To me, Stu's word is good.  You may have to hagel with the man some to get
everything the way you want it, but I believe him to be good to his word.  We'll
see.  I do know that Koni won't honor their guarantee if the shocks are used
on a race car.  I would be surprised if any of the manufacturers would.
Some of the comments I've read are making me a little nervous about 
the SPAX's.  Several of the negative comments have been about the non-adjust
models...  Don't know if there is a difference.  I hope I don't find out 
these negative comments are true, but if I do,  I'll be getting the Konis
next.

I hope it will!  The thing was handling real well with the suspension mods,
but the original 1.8 with 146K miles on it was a little weak.  The new motor
should be a serious kick in the shorts for the car... I can't wait to get it put
together so I can take it for a ride!!!
