Josiah, 

RE:  QSW LIST.  Yeah, we DO exist.  Go to
http://www.eGroups.com/list/syncronized for info on how to get on the
mailing list.  Little bit of traffic this month, we're growing in number.
Please join.  Please also stay here for more in depth technical detail
though...

RE:  Rear Suspension.  Tons of choices.  #1 - Boge OEM   #2 - Custom.
That's it.  At least here in the states the other manufacturers' products
are NLA and old stock have been depleted.  I went through the same thing
about a year ago.  Even worse that Boge Pro Gas used to be available and now
there are NO drop in gas cartridges available for the qsw rears.  The
fronts, being the same as the 4000csq are plentiful.  I went with the Boge
Pro Gas in the fronts and the stock OEM hydro Boge in the rear.  OK, but
obviously not the first choice. 

See you,
