Re: Spax shocks via classicgarage

[Charles Slayman <Charles.Slayman@domain.elided>]

Darren,
	Alfa Ricambi and Shankle used to carry Spax along with Koni.  I have 
never used them but have the Koni Yellows on my Spider now.  Koni's are great 
quality, as I believe Spax are also (otherwise, Alfa Ricambi and Shankle 
wouldn't have carried them).  
	However, Koni's can only be adjusted by removing an twisting.  This is 
not a good design for tuning.  You soon tire of this process before you can get 
to the optimum setup.  Spax, on the other hand, can be adjusted on the car with 
a screwdriver.  For this reason alone, I think the Spax are a superior choice if 
you plan to tune your suspension.  That's why Alfa Ricambi and Shankle carried 
them.  But I don't think they sold well because of name brand recognition.
	I noticed classicgarage.com only carries them for the Alfetta.  If I 
could find them for the Spider, I think I would consider replacing my Koni's and 
give them a try.
	
Cheers,
Charlie
