Re: springs and shocks

["Dave Margretta" <pencilledheaven@hotmail.com>]

  i think the bilstein sports will be way too rough for such a light car.  
maybe i can find something alittle less tight then the bils.  i was also 
looking at the boge's.  someone told me the hd's worked well w/ the prokit, 
so i'm gonna have to check into that.  thanks for the info, it could've 
wound up being a big waste of money and time.
