Subject:2WD Custom Springs Status
From:Steve Schwenk
Date:Thu, 5 Jul 2001 15:22:45 -0700

The data from the five sets of prototype springs has
been coming in and I expect to finazlize any changes to
the specs and place the production run order by the end
of next week.  I will get a price quote from the
manufacturer shortly.

Thus far, everyone has been very pleased with the
spring rate and the overall performance of the
springs.  They provide increased stability and better
cornering.  For most owners, they will provide about
1/2" - 1" additional vehicle height/ground
clearance...and thus suspension travel.  the amount of
additional height will depend on what springs you
currently have installed.  If you have 1985 springs,
the height increase will be minimal, about 1/4".

The only change I am considering at this point is
lowering the rear spring height 1/4".  One person
requested taller springs, but I am not incliend to do
that with the 2wd springs since most people use them
exclusively on the highway.

Anyway, I will post the price quote, etc. next week.
The more sets ordered, the cheaper they are.
Steve
