Re: cutting springs

[SailingFC@aol.com]

I've had my Bilsteins for over 16 years and they are in great shape.  No 
appreciable difference in stiffness or looseness(on the fronts).  I've had 
the rears replaced once, lifetime warranty!  I use to drive fairly hard and 
never had any problems with them.  BTW, I bought strut inserts not the full 
strut assemblies and I have Neuspeed lowering springs.

 I hear ya' brother!  As soon as I can scrounge up a few extra bucks, I'm 
kicking
 the Boge's to the curb with the rest of the trash!  How much more do the 
Koni's
 run?  Will they hold up as long? >>
