Spider Shocks, Springs, and Dues



       Buy some stock springs, which are available at all the normal 
suppliers.  They cost more than performance springs.  You could also buy a 
set of used springs from APE or advertise on the Digest or watch eBay.
       I would leave the Koni shocks in place.  You may find that the stock 
springs soften the ride enough to suit you.  I have found Koni shocks last a 
long time, so why spend money that you may not have to.
       For the price of four shocks you could pay your AROC dues for several 
years.
