[V8] Suspension

[Ed Kellock]

Yup.  It felt very good to me at the time.  In fact, if it were possibly, I'd very much like to try it again so that I could compare it to my current Bilstien/HD setup which I'm not that thrilled with.  I'm thinking very seriously about going the Boge route that you've mentioned more than once.  

I'm in LA at the moment.  It was 1100 miles from Colorado Springs with a moderate load in the car.  The car was controlled when I wanted it to be, but when I wanted it to be comfortable/composed, it was not.  Still too much reaction over the lesswer stuff.  

Cruising with semi's at 105 down I40 into Kingman was an interesting experience.

Sea level atmospheric pressure is soooo nice for the V8.  The rear-muffler delete option sounds even throatier here.  

Some sort of voltage or circuit anomoly in the instrument cluster causes oil pressure gauge to peg and miles to empty to grossly overestimate.  Seems worse after fuel fill-up.  Seems to wort itself out when fuel level is below 1/2.

Happy Turkey Day all!

I BELIEVE I still have the part Nos.  I think it's the same as used for C4
(2nd generation 100/UrS4/S6) chassis cars (i.e. 1529.140).

Lemme see...still have the box with the stock springs in it...YUP! 1529.140

That's what I had in my old v8.  Felt pretty good, Ed, didn't it?
