[DeTomaso] Deck lid Shocks for cars with Wings

[Julian Kift]

Don,


As I understand Mark (IPSCO) recommends the same kit for both (but feel free to call and verify), this is because the reaction point is relocated much closer to the wing. In the stock location you have all that added weight of a wing at the farthest point from the fulcrum.

   Don,

   As I understand Mark (IPSCO) recommends the same kit for both (but feel
   free to call and verify), this is because the reaction point is
   relocated much closer to the wing. In the stock location you have all
   that added weight of a wing at the farthest point from the fulcrum.
