He probably reads, writes, and speaks at least 2 languages. How many do you use reasonably well? That said, CANADA RULZ!!! On topic: If you're going to upgrade the suspension, you should seriously consider upgrading all 4 corners to keep balanced performance. Varied spring rates can make handling unpredictable & unstable. One of the best setups for the money is the Koni kit. Excellent handling, adjustable, and about a 2" drop IIRC... Perform a search in this section for 'koni kit' and you'll get some threads that will tell you all the details & show you where to get it at a good price. BAT makes a very nice kit for just slightly less money. 1" drop, very good handling, and a great all around kit for a daily driven car. I have it on my Mystique & enjoy it very much. The BAT kit is NOT adjustable. It can be had at www.batinc.net and I think SPmotorsports.com Enjoy your car, my friend! Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

What do you mean, rhetorical question? 1998.5 SVT --> http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2155561/1 #4619 of 6535, born Feb 18, 1998. i'm a smarta$$, don't take it personally
