Brent, fellow syncro owners,

I was doing the exact same thing - when to install, and should I replace all the shocks. Seems to make sense to do while changing the springs.

Count me in for the group purchase of OME springs, front and rear.

Since I stare at my lovely new Syncro springs everyday here in my office, I also spend a lot of time thinking about when I will get around to installing them. I plan to replace the springs, Boge shocks, and all the various bushings that drive me crazy with all their squeaking. I am guessing I will be able to do it in a few months...

In the mean time, I am planning to order the Old Man Emu shocks that have received great reviews. Would any Syncro owners be interested in putting together a group purchase if the discount warrants it? Has anyone ordered the OME shocks here in the states from anyone other than Acme Outfitters?

Also, are there any other suggested upgrades while I have the entire front end taken apart? (i.e. polyurethane bushings, etc.)

Regards,
