V8 1991 front suspension coils swap too 100Q ?

[Denis]

  Ok i see.

  I already have 16 inchs wheels on 205 50 16 and its bumpy on the bad road... it was much more confortable with my old 5000.

  I ll try it cause both side dont have same height. If its really to hard to drive ,, then ....i ll see ;-)

  It s a winter car so couple inchs hight would be good... rally on the rad every day ;-)

    my '87 5000 csq avat has springs from a V8. The setup includes Boge Turbo
    Gas shocks (this was done by the previous owner, so I can't take credit for
    it, and maybe the previous owner wasn't telling the truth, but I think he
    can be trusted). 

    It's a pretty firm ride that isn't so great around town on bumpy roads, but
    it feels great at 80mph. I wish I could provide more details, but it
    certainly didn't lift the car an extra 6" inches. The ride is a LOT
    different from my 100 q sedan for sure. I don't think I'd recommend it for a
    daily driver that is used for commuting. For what I do (high speed highway
    driving over snowy passes with a ton of skis on board) it's pretty nice.
