To get the proper ride height on the rear with both the light yellow and dark yellow springs I've had to add some of the plastic spring retainers that come on the plastic shock parts tree that you normally wouldn't use. When I asked Betts about it he said some of the springs he's gotten aren't long enough, even with the threaded spring retainer all the way down at the bottom of the threads. You need to add these plastic retainers as spacers to get the ride height. Depending on the batch, some springs are worse (meaning shorter) than others - my dark yellows are the worst. The velvet bodies have a lot more thread on them. So - do you know if they have the velvet bodies coming in this week?

I think Rob said he is getting 4 sets of velvet shocks, don't quote me on that though.

As fas as I know, Jeff has has the spares on order since before the car came out...he got the conversion in, but no individual spares. I'm most likely just going to pick up a conversion kit tomorrow for spares. About the only item I can't see myself using is the rear CVD bones.
