As revealed earlier, I don't know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) about suspension. I did know enough to listen to the pros and have taken Eric's set up advice. (guess who has new Bilsteins coming (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) My question is this; how do I identify what I currently have? Is this done by the number of coils? Is it stamped somewhere? Color coded? Here is a shot of mine. And...what does 100,120,140lb represent? What happens at a given value? TIA, kent
