There was some discussion on this last year. I can't remember which if it was
Robert Keezer from Seattle or Robert from North Carolina (???). Anyway, one
of them is using the H&R springs with KYB shocks and putdown bumpstops. He
says he is very happy with them. Todd in the SF Bay Are had them on his Westy
and was very dissatisfied in that application. I think they are just to low
for the heavier Westies. I have a set which I am going to be installing in my
87 GL.
