RE: New Toyz

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

The Eibachs are not as stiff as the H&Rs I had on it before. I think thery 
are good but they need a little more damping that the turbogas shocks seems 
to provide.  I would have gone for Bilstein but the cash was need elsewhere 
and both my shocks had leaked so it had to be the Boges.
