lowered type 44, was 4000

[jim rose]

im starting to suspect that might be right... that the car is further off
than it could/should be bc of the alignment monkeys...

its funny, i went + checked the reciept for when i had the shocks installed,
and the fools wrote down that it was a 4000 and then it was scratched out in
different handwriting to 5000. the follies of driving a badgeless auto...

thanx, brett + eyvind...
