[V8] V8 Digest, Vol 66, Issue 16

[Shin Hoshikawa]

Sorry, I got it totally wrong.  Should have looked at the subject line more
carefully.  Yes, doesn't look lowered, but it is -- you'll know what I mean.
Hope you can find one easily.   Shin, The Idiot.

What are you talking about? I didn't ask for stock V8 springs... if I wanted
stock V8 springs I'd pillage my parts stash for the many sets I have. V8
stock springs will actually raise the car a bit.

 True in that the V8 is a bit heavier than a 200 20v

I have no idea how that makes any sense @ all???? It doesn't look lowered...
but is???? impossible!

 If I wanted a setup for track I'd just put my 2B front & rear coilovers
with Koni adjustables & 750/800lb spring rates from my Black V8 5sp mit 4.2
on my 200 20vt. But all I want is a used set from eather a V8 or a //scar
:-)
