Hi All,


I picked up my Syncro from VolksCafe yesterday after having them install new
OME shocks along with Steve's springs and to sum it up in one word - WOW!


I have an 86 Syncro Wolfsburg with 150K on it and the suspension was shot.
The new suspension made improvements to the ride that I was not expecting.
I thought that things would tighten up and possibly get a bit more harsh
than I wanted.  I received the exact opposite!  The ride did tighten up but
it is MUCH more supple, like a different vehicle.  Bumps in the road that
used to be jarring are now barely noticed.  Larger bumps like speedbumps are
a non-event with no more of the wallowing that used to occur.


Anyway, I thought I'd share my experiances with you guys.  I have no
affiliation etc... just sharing info!


-Hans
