'90 Coupe Suspension

[Alex Chernushin <ACHERNU@ball.com>]

Dear nivi@aol.com,

I put on H&R springs with Koni Sport shocks.  It lowered the car about 1.25 
inches.  The handling is vastly improved over stock.  You can feel road 
bumps a little more, but it is not unacceptable.  I'm very pleased with the 
way it turned out.

I did a fair amount of research before I went with the setup I have.  I 
looked at an Abt kit, but price ($1300) was too high.  Also, it lowers the 
car about 2 inches, which may be fine for California, but not here in 
Colorado.  Sachs makes a "Sporting Kit", but it was about $900.  Eibach 
doesn't make springs, but what some have done is use four front springs for 
an 83-85 TQC.  For shocks, you are limited to the Koni Sport, and Boge.  I 
wanted a firmer feel than what the Boge's would give, so I went with the 
Koni's.  Bilstiens are only available as part of the Abt kit.  The Koni's 
are adjustable, but must be removed from the vehicle for adjustment.  I went 
with the "middle" setting.

If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me.  I'll be out of the 
office next week, I just _have_ to go to France for business.
