Re: Subject: 164 Q (or S) shock absorbers

[MMosko@domain.elided]

I recently purchased a '91 164 S with defective electric valve shocks. I 
replaced them with new replacement shocks used for the 164 L with automatic 
transmission ( a little stiffer, I'm told). The operation in my mind was a 
success. Great handling with a firm ride. Wouldn't want the shocks any 
stiffer or softer.
