[V8] springs

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I remember when you picked that up, Bryan.  It was just when Keith  
was having his farewell party.  I don't see why it wouldn't work.   
The mpst important thing would be to match the springs with the  
proper shocks.  Are they the sport ones or the race ones from H&R?  I  
only have experience with the Eibachs.

Best of luck.  I want some more pics :-)

On a side note -- was that a V12 Lincoln Zephyr?  Cool and quite  
rare.  Not that the Bugatti and Lambo aren't...
