[FC] Improved Van Handling

I'm going to start a complete suspension redo on the old 'Brier pretty soon
(tired of bouncing my way to work while swaying side to side), and I seem to
have lost my archive of tech info on the spring/shock setups. I believe it
was Ken Hand (VairMech@aol.com) who had suggested Ford Mustang springs from
a 60-something V8. Also - Shocks. Are the Carerras worth it for a daily
driver? I'm not pulling G's on the skidpad or anything, just a daily 25 mile
commute. Any other suggestions would be fantastic. Shocks, springs,
boomerang, wheel bearings, and brakes (dual M/C conversion, rebuild wheel
cylinders and replace shoes) are all on the list (possibly with that very
trick looking disc kit).

While we're at it, anyone have any experience with that disc kit? Good, bad,
ugly?

PS - Is there an archival webpage of Corvanatics mailing list content?
