When I bought my car in '98, it had Bilsteins all 'round and some funky
springs that were shot and allegedly not even the right application.  Turned
out the PO had removed a set of Konis and dug this crap up somewhere and
slapped it on before putting car up for sale.  Bilsteins were COMPLETELY
blown - Potter had never seen Bilsteins so completely GONE!  He managed
to warranty swap them for me (for Sports) and I went with H&R sports
and Neuspeed bars at the same time.  Man o' man - I was pleasantly 
surprised at how comfortable the thing is for a daily driver.  The thing
is not harsh or uncomfortable AT ALL.  Go sports all the way.. if you
could drive my setup I'm sure you'd agree...
