I understand-its a fine line between self defense and excessive
force. Depending on the judge and jury.
I thought my '89 ASC was sagging in the rear. I bought the FRRP
lowering springs. It still sits at exactly the same height as the
ASC spings that were 10 years old. I bought the Tokico non-
adjustable shocks at the same time. Not happy with them at all. Too
soft and the driver side started to leak after 1,000 miles. I'm
saving for a set of Koni's. Had them on my '69 Mach I. they were
awesome. Great handling and not too firm.
Let us know if you plan on visiting Phoenix again. Did you make it
to the Pavillions in Scottsdale on Sat nite?
