spring btdt...

fyi - im pretty sure that my parts guy at a local german car shop has
eibachs/koni's on his 5000. i bet theres a fittment for the 5000, even if
its not listed in "the book".

as for shocks - its true the bilstein sports are avail for front + not rear.
i supposed thats why my nothelle kit came w the koni's for the back. i think
theyre red konis. the stiffer, adjustable ones. it works REALLY well. my
rears are set 3/4 of the way to hard right now, i think im gonna go full
stiff soon, to try to compensate for the tendency to the front to push. i
dont know that i would recc the hr's after owning a set for a year. they are
really stiff and low [1.5"drop]. i can pull it off on cali roads, but i
would think twice on rougher roads. the car also rattles like crazy these
days =(   fun as H*LL to drive tho!

btw - spoke to 2B last night + they told me the way to correct camber is
either to slot the top shock mount holes or have adj. camber plates made up
[better, but $$]. im gonna roll mine up there to have them slot the mounts
in a week or 2. im looking forward to tires that wear evenly.
