Coilovers -- was Re: [s-cars] Installed the HRSB

[Bill Clancy]

Speaking of coilovers...
Forgive me if I am behind the times but I have to ask, what are the
advantages of Coilovers?   I'm not even sure I understand how they hold the
car up...or how they differ in principle from the original design.

And... I didn't think that they were available (from the usual sources) for
the C4 chassis.    Can someone shed some light.   :-)

thanks...
-Bill

My $.02- these bars are way to snug for a car without coilovers. Mine is
sitting in my garage waiting for a rear coilover install.
