KG4503 + CC850 Spring... Good Combo.
I too appreciate your immense input to this site. From a Geoff with a G. I say Cheers Jeff. My car would not be in the good shape it is now...
Caveat. I have a 56. I used Moog CC850 Springs, Mr Gasket 1285 spacers and KYB 4503 Shocks. Same setup as the HRR. It stays off the bump stops...
