Shocks/springs/Dave Barton

Dave,

Have you installed the springs/shocks??  If so, how long have you had 
them on?  If not, please let us know how it handles, etc. after you 
install them.  I'm intereted in the Summit Racing setup.  Appears to 
basically be what Rory offers as "Active Handling" package.

I can wait a while because getting my cat's (pet) suspension repaired 
yesterday cost me $500 USD!!  The Marcos will have to wait, although 
it was a tough decision.  Cat is lucky this time.

---Don,
      I have not driven it yet ,it is a rolling chassis.
The shocks are adjustable as described by one of the other guys with
the seat on the shock and the "acme" thread is about 4.5" long.
                    Cheers Dave #5577

Alignments???? More Suspension questions from you know who....

2001-11-09 by Jeff Caraway

Hi all,
When you guys change things on your front suspension, you would have to
get the car's front end aligned. Right?
What do you tell the shop to use as specs for the alignment? GT6 specs?
Any particular year?
