Ken,
You are certainly welcome to do this, but are you aware that David Marshall
is already doing it? In fact he is putting together a group purchase that
should yield a good discount. See http://www.fastforward.ca/vanagonlist

Also, there are currently list members with syncros who have been using the
OME shocks for some months now who could give us a report. Anyway, good
luck. If you can come up with a better deal than David Marshall so much the
better for all of us.
Bill
90 Westy Syncro
