[Shotimes] No-SHO yet

[Ian Fisher]

Four tranny's sounds really bad if you don't explain
that was across 3 SHO's. :)

Then again, I am not much better off with 2 SHO's and
a few rebuilds/swaps either.

Peter-Just to add to what Bill said, some of the
transmissions do have the spring but they can weaken
over time and lose their effect. At least that is
something that I have heard. I can't confirm or deny
it from personal experience.

Welcome to SHO ownership. Your first day is a sign of
things to come. ;)

You had mentioned getting new struts. Many of us have
Koni strut inserts and find them to be very
comfortable. If you play around with the adjustments,
you can stiffen them up quite a bit for performance.
If you want to swap springs, you can choose between
eibachs and intrax. Coilovers (if you can find them)
are also an option but if you are using this as a
daily driver, you may not want to go that route.

One advantage is that your SHO is going to be driven
in GA. The roads there are much better than in the NE
so you can have a fairly stiff suspension and still
find it comfortable (at least I think so).

good luck

Ian
