[Shotimes] my strut saga

[Steve Tatro]

Sounds like it's time to cut 'em!

Screw the spring rate and coefficients and crap.  Just saw them down!!!

Good luck with your "lifted" SHO.  You are now ready for serious
off-roading.

Oh, and you can probably change the oil without jacking or ramping the
car at all!
