Steve, I see your getting a lot of suggestions, but I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have Easy Rider shocks on the web site, I hope to have lowering springs for about $200.00 / set before Xmas, and tires I would leave up to you. I do have rebuilt steering racks with new parts, all new front end parts and steering bushing. Let me know if I can help.

I recently purchased my third D, and was reminded of how the ride is so rough. Rob Grady once described this to me as like a "buckboard". On one of my cars I put on his shocks and it helped some, but there was a long way to go. Some days, I feel exhausted after driving to work (30 miles) due to the rough ride and the noise. The ride, as we all know, is very dependent on the road condition, but here in the DC area its a mess, and on some roads it really is a buckboard feel. I have seen various ideas floated-about, concerning quieting down the ride, with certain springs, shocks and tires (such as the Marty Maier shocks from long ago, Rob's shocks, DMCH etc, and various tires). I am not interested in performance (like taking sharp curves, feeling the road, or hugging the road, etc). Rather, a softer, quieter, smoother, maybe even mushy ride. It wouldn't hurt to have a different steering column, so that you don't feel every crack in the road, but that's probably not realistic. So, can I try to get a consensus on the best: tires shocks springs That can accomplish this goal? steve liggett vin # 005983 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
