An insert for 275? What and why? Is it just rarity? Some strange one off design that no other car uses?

explanation?
you get what you pay for. (most times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) i've got the softest bilsteins. a bit harsher than the old stock boges. but i am not complaining. even about the price tag which was not $5.59. it cost $$$$ to get stuff to the antarctic research base at the bottom of the world. live here and i will take your complaint about expenditure seriously. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) lets get serious for a minute. even with a 72 horsepower cal spec 73 1.7 these here cars handle and go around corners. they deserve every $ spent on a good set of shocks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) and a thorough going through of suspension components. bushes etc. you know the drill. otherwise what kind of fun are you having? i have a 1.8. and i sure am not enjoying its ability to peel its tyres off at the lights.
