That's a good question, Jim, cause on the way to Waterfest, I was driving
in front of Ben, and I saw his front suspension go BOING! BOING! BOING!
And yet I have H&Rs and Boge TurboGas, and they're very well matched.  The
setup still bottoms a bit too much on the horrible roads here, but it's
substantially better than stock in all areas.  

Bens are either defective, blown, or his springs are a lot stiffer (for
whatever reason) than they should be.

Got me on this one, Ben....
