[DML] Re: Upgraded Front Suspension

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I swear Bill, you must do this just for the entertainment value in watching us argue. You forgot to mention the "C" word. It isn't just a matter of *if* something will work or not. Many things that "work" don't work well or for long or need constant attention and fiddling. Most people either won't do any of their own work or when they do their own work don't want to "experiment" with something that is not "tried and true" and has a good history of working with a minimum of fiddling. In your particular case everyone knows how you love to experiment and fiddle with your car. Not every mod you do is for everyone else. That said, keep on experimenting, it is good that someone will, that is how the car is improved. Strictly speaking the heading should be "Modified Front Suspension", not necessarily "Upgraded". That has yet to be proven.
