Re: ebay: wrecked 88 asc

Just to clarify....

The 84 Coupes and Verts BOTH got special springs.
The 85-86 Coupes got the springs and the verts did not?

I still don't get the connection between the special McLaren springs
(designed by Muscat) and the Motorsport "SUPER-SPORTS" springs. Are
they one and the same? Did Muscat design them and Ford make them?

Maybe I'm just being slow here.
