Dave, have you installed the springs/shocks you got from Summit 
Racing yet??  I'm leaning in that direction vs. the "Active Handling" 
kit.  It would seem to me that having both adjustable springs AND 
shocks would give much more flexibility than the static setup of the 
Active Handling" kit.  What were your thoughts when you made your 
purchase decision??  Have you used them in other cars,etc? 

Mine is off the jackstands and almost ready to ride!!!  Found one 
surprise this winter........whoever rebuilt the engine used 1 inch 
bolts to attach the exhaust headers.  That translates to about 1/8" 
of the bolt threading into the head.  And to think I drove it 3000 
miles last summer and the headers didn't drop off!  Luck!  Since 
replaced with stainless (the proper length).

Hope you make the "Cruise"!
