Be careful what you wish for... =)
That would be a really great plan some day, never been to Katie's but the photos look like it's a lot of fun. Kids soccer is almost over so maybe it'd work out one week if I can get away for a day. I'm also going to be looking for some control arms / bushings to refresh at the same time and be done with it
I don't know if I'd ever get two days off on the weekend but maybe I can con a student going home for a break or something into bringing it up.

Correct. I knew it'd be an inevitability but thought I'd get a few more years out of the system before having to do it. I guess on the plus side not ever having driven one with a fully working DRC, I won't know what I'm missing. =) People say using the stock springs and Koni's are fairly indistinguishable, so it should be a decent setup. I caught the last few days of their rebate sale, and the last set in stock that I could find. I don't know if they are back ordered or nla, but I was glad to scoop them.

There was some bushing refresh and a bit of a leaking seal, then replacing the 4 shocks and refill the fluid, just pulled the paper and it was closer to 7k. [emoji51]
