Start calling ALL places IMMEDIATELY...  Eibach no longer manufactures the
Prokit for type 44 chassis - I bought supposedly the last set Wolfsport had
- try GPR, Ron's, RD, TAP,  Eurosport, and any of the VeeDub places
advertising in EC.  You may get lucky. Otherwise yer stuck with H&R -
noticably stiffer, IMHO. Or custom wound springs, or Sachs, or 2.5K fer a
coilover kit...

Rear's are a breeze - 1/2 hour per side. Rent a spring compressor - you can
get it apart w/o, but it AIN'T goin' back together! Three 13MM on top, one
19MM on bottom.
