Todd, as you may know, we are already doing a list purchase on syncro
springs (approx. 15 pair so far).  We may be able to increase savings to
everyone if both the syncro group and the 2wd group go with the same company
and order together.  You can handle all the details for the 2wd folks, etc.,
but it might be worth it to coordinate our two orders for additional
savings.  Thus far, we have been quoted about $50 a spring if we order 10
springs (5 pair).  I expect our cost for 15 pair to be closer to $45.  (it's
$117 per spring for two pair).  the company is

If you would prefer to go another route, NP....i would then encdourage those
who have contacted me about 2wd springs to now get in touch with you.
