This is a mystery to me-- can anyone explain why camber problems are "par 
for the course" on a 5000, but I didn't have any? Granted Mine lowered 
1.4" instead of 1.5, but I wouldn't expect the extra tenth to make the 
difference..

I'm wondering if I got a different part number by shear dumb luck and have 
a breakthrough to share, or if there's something different in the early 
86s.

Koni told me to set the yellows at 35% firm.  Yours *could* be overdamped, 
and therefore be turned down for better ride and better road-hugging 
through the bumps.  The HRs are stiffer, though, and if your Konis are 
reds then they'd have to be set higher, so maybe not.
