I am currently running the 550 vbp coils up front & a 7 leaf steel rear (did not like the composite spring- AT ALL!!) and the IAS's at all 4 corners. This is such a good ride and the handling is great. Now I don't race, but I do drive somewhat aggressive. I'd like to hear more peoples comments on the IAS's as I truley believe they are under rated and not used enough. JMO

If you decide on Konis I have a set for sale. I had them on my 65 for about 3 months, less than 500 miles. They are in excellant condition. Cost 102.99 each from Summit or Jegs. I'll take $350 plus shipping for the set.
