shocks/springs

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

kevin, do you know what the rates are for the sports v. the races (i assume 
the sports are h&r's "softsport" type springs)? don't know if i posted this 
yet, but i called potterman last week--h/r coilovers are 285/285#, cup kit 
is 200/200, and my shines are 200front/100 rear. i want to go with something 
a little stiffer i think...
