To pull our dialogue to one topic:
Did you try the Koni Struts without cut springs? How did it ride? What were the major differences in ride between the cut and stock springs, if you did use that setup. While this may seem an obvious question, did you regret the change in spring rate, or do you wish you had used full, higher rate springs? (i.e 95 cuts vs. full length 400#)
Also, I can't tell for sure if I would have to remove the transaxle to do the swap. I'll check the Haynes, but it appears that with just enough play they will come out to the side and up. But that's with the worn ones, I bet the new ones will require more play. I really hope that it doesn't require transaxle disengagement, 'cause I don't want to deal with it. It does appear that the inside collars are non-existent on the front sway bar. At least one outside collar seems to be there. I'll check the manual out for that too.
Thanks,
Ed
