    Default figured it out... i think

    So i was in desperate search of a way to make the wagon ride better than it did. Previously i had just removed the springs in the front all together to achieve the lowered ride status. However, noticing (upon comparison) that the damper of a DC4 was considerably shorter than the McPherson damper that was on there, and that the strut seat was about the same size (the DC was 1.3mm narrower - i mic'd it); i decided to try to retrofit the tophat onto the shorter of the two to try and get some strut travel.

    Well, it worked.

    And now the ride does not bounce like the ball at a Lakers game - and folks do not flash their brights at me because they think I'm flashing mine at them. lol

    I'm not sure how well any of this applies to the 1st gens, but i do know that if you have second gen... you can do it and pull off a great ride stance, while actually being lower than riding without springs at all... I'll have pictures to support this later.
