My feeling is that the relative squishiness of the hydraulic rear susp. coupled with HDs in the front would be a somewhat strange handling vehicle. But, I am very interested in cleaning up the handling... My drive consists of 20 miles one way on a country highway with a lot of curves, some really high speed, others with elevation changes. I run consistently around 65 mph on the route, faster in the straights.

delano- I put a pair of KYBs on the rear of a 108 chassis on a whim, they worked great on that car (went with them for the cost, considering that that type of swing axle rear susp. chews through shocks like crazy). For about a hundred bucks for a pair, I'm more than ready to tighten up the TD with some Bilsteins. I think the TD has its original shocks (!) at 211k miles (I bought the car at 150k).

Keep the comments coming-

Cheers,

JAS
