Hi, I don't know if this actually sent properly from the private message link, so here it is again.
Hey Loren, hope all is well with you and your family. Thanks for the reply. I did already replace the front shocks with 8243-5 QA's, these are the shorter shocks and they have heavier rebound damping. All I had to do to repair the 8253 shock was order a new shaft and replace it, now I have a spare set for the rear.
I also attached a set of cable stops so that when you jack the car up the heims aren't supporting the weight since the shock is not at full extension. I will probably order a set of valves later to change the 8253's to the -5 since these shocks seem quite easy to work with and the valveing will be cheaper than complete shocks.
I haven't had it back on the track yet will have to wait until march , I also realigned to more track settings -1.5 camber all around and 1/16 toe, it feels amazing on the street so the track should be even better.
thanks again
mike
