Re: Autotech springs? (are they still HoR's?)

["Doug Teulie" <IDougT@email.msn.com>]

Thank you for your input! (no joke)
We need some one to balance out the old issue.
Brett please add this to the FAQ.
BTW I am not sure who makes the HoR springs now.
Does any one know? So much babble
about who makes this and that. I have been told
that HoR springs are not even available in Germany.
The H&R springs may have
gotten better over time and the HoR's may have
gotten worse. Not sure. If you have input please
add. This is what the list is all about. You don't
have to take my humble bad experience.
BTW what HoR springs were they and how many miles?
8v or 16v? What was the reduction. (mine was about
.25 lower than I was told it would be from day one with the HoR's.)
Any detail would help.
