Thanks for input, all!

Ed,

I read a pile of prior posts regarding my questions, and came across some photos of an Aston Vantage you used to drive; got green with envy. What a gorgeous car! Thanks for the straight-talkin' advice; it's well taken. It's the set-up I'm going to run--500E bars, Bilsteins, and H&Rs. Nice CE, too!

You find the car is still tolerably supple over the average road imperfections?

Thanks,

Kristian
