umm, yeah. I'd be real interested. I know that in Germany, there are
three versions of the shocks, each progressively better from the stock
version we (USA) can get to the 16" Syncro version.
And I know that Peter is supposed to have done custom springs that work
very well for the conditions that they were built.
But that knowledge is second hand or from the mouth of the seller.
Testimonials from real users would be nice.
?????????INQUIRING MINDS REALLY, REALLY WANT TO KNOW.????????????
It would be nice to put the front end of SyncroBeast back together again.
Getting tired of only one running vehicle for myself w/o a backup if it
fails.

It seems no one in the U.S. has tried Peter's custom springs
and shocks for the syncro. Have any of our European
brethern tried them?
Like others over here, I am concerned that the springs may
be too stiff for my tastes. I do not want my syncro to ride
like a stiff 4wd off-raod setup jeep...if you know what i
mean.
Thanks for any info.
