just the regular 422's and not the heavy duty ones. i didn't see the point in having an external adjuster that only adjusts one of the shocks, even though they both do work as one unit. what would be sweet is a dual external adjustable set- one side adjusts preload and the other side adjusts damping.

Here's some pics from today's ride- Mulholland drive overlooking San Fernando valley.

this shows the lowering of the rear a bit better.

Thanks mirrmu-

futher road testing today with the 422's - i set them to 1/2 turn less preload (2 turns preload total) and not any diff. It's really the rebound damping control that sucks on these IMO. I don't mind a stiffer shock as I like the improved road feel, but damping control is paramount to good suspension manners.

some more roadside gratuitous photos as always- Mulholland drive / Beverly Hills up amongst the bazillion-dollar mansions. Wonder if the rich folk are having as much fun as me right now?

I've been on Mulholland drive a few times. Back in 1988 & 1989 I was stationed at 29 Palms, we used to head to the LA area just about every weekend. Good times, I'll never forget those couple of years. Its safe to say California has as many quality women as Texas does.
