Subject:Q: for H&R lowering springs users

Hello All,

I just lowered my 87 GL thanks to some H & R springs that a fellow listee gave me.

I LOVE THE LOOK!!!!!!! They go well with my redrilled 15" X 8" Porsche Fuchs replicas. Handling is improved but I feel it could use more stiffness. Getting in and out of the vehicle is a cynch even for most of my smaller passengers. The front is roughly 2+ inches lower than stock.

The van seems to have a bit more spring to it's step. Feels a bit bouncy with the stock Boges. I wanted to try them out before going to KYB's. I can't remember which of you had advised me on this before.

I haven't decided which way to go on shocks. I need your help again.

BTW, I had all the bushings replaced. No more squeakies. She rides silky smooth. Albeit a bit on the nervous side.
