Well,
If you want to try Koni's and Intrax you can have mine I'd gladly trade
for something that does not ride like a semi truck with no suspension
under it. Best part is in michigan when it gets cold enough they freeze
and you'd better strap your 4 point on and hang on for dear life. I hate
that set up.
