[Shotimes] Ride Height

This topic bores me, as :

1.  SHO Shop Linears are no longer available

2.  Eibachs and Intrax are readily available, and both are a handling
improvement, as well as giving a nice raked "look".

3.  Other springs are a crapshoot, and some ultimate handling linears are
not readily available.

4.  For 99.99999% of us, Eibachs or Intrax are more than beyond our
abilities. Deal with it.

FWIW, I was the SHOtimes A-HOLE on Wednesday, Kegel was the A-HOLE on
Thursday, I'll hop in early and be the A-HOLE for Friday.

Since I'll be the designed A-Hole for Friday, I don't give a flying
"fornication" about your opinions on whether 155 #s/inch springs are better
than 130#s/inch springs. I'll run over your sorry asses at Blackhawk
regardless of what you put on your SHO.

Have a nice day!!  ;-)

OK.  Obviously Gen1 and Gen2 will have different measurements, at least
in the rear.
