Subject:H&R part II
From:Brian Tipsword
Date:Tue, 24 Jan 2006 11:50:19 -0800

I just read Karl's post ~ the *klunk* gets better with time (springs settling into their seats).  At first it was aweful, I thought something was bad wrong.  Now I get an occasional klunk when transitioning into/onto uneven surfaces.

  Again something I've learned to live with on lowered vehicles.

  A note on the Carat springs, I think that this is a better setup truthfully as the suspension is tight/low and still supple.  I ran a set for a year or so and if the Koni's don't solve my rebound problems will be going back to them.

  I went with the H&R's for two reasons
   1.) garage door clearance.  I can now drive in & out with the top vent wide open and it clears everything

   2.) I'm short and hated leaping from my van :-)  I'm near middle age and one must eventually have dignity!

  Regards,
  Brian
