was $195 coilovers: now get a grip

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i could throw em on the rieger (daily - on crappy ass charleston SC roads),
and give em a torture test. its currently doing good with koni / neuspeed
softsport (the same set of koni/neuspeed that i have transplanted into/out
of the past 5 roccos i've owned. they must have 100k miles on em by now.
