[200q20v] Suspension advice for a wagon

[Shayne]

This has been a concern of mine as I recently had custom made springs and
custom valved HDs for my 280 SEL.  I have yet to drive it as I am now trying
to rig a Big Red setup.  I guess time will tell.  I will let you know how
they seat of the pants dyno works...although Bilstein graciously offered to
"work with me"...
