NEAR-STOCK IMPROVEMENTS
If I were to replace my struts, and maybe also the springs (if it's worthwhile). What would you suggest, considering the following:<P>I drive my car year-round, and need sufficient clearance for snow. I would guess that any lowering should be slight / minimal??<P>It has to be road-worthy, and able t...

Re: DOHC / SOHC? (Newb...)
Hey, great! - here's one even I can answer:<P>First, the "OHC" part stands for<BR>Over Head Cam - meaning that the Camshafts, which operate the Engine's valves, are located on top of the head(s). <P>The DOHC means Double Over Head Cams<BR>(there are two camshafts for each bank of cylinders...

NEW RUBBER
Wow! What a difference:<P>Yesterday, I scrubbed the crap out of my stock rims yesterday (had old Bridgestone RE-92s peeled off before winter - they were great, and lasted about 35K miles) yesterday. Man, were they messy (the wife let me back in the house on the condition of an IMMEDIATE shower). BTW...

STOCK SPEAKER REPLACEMENTS??
I have a few questions about speaker recommendations:<P>Q1. Has anybody tried the newer speakers in the doors, which have "steerable" tweeters?<BR>(I would think that it would be nice to aim them up into "maximum clear space".)<P>Q2. Crutchfield's info. on the MX-3 states that on...

DASHBOARD SWITCHES ON '92 GS
My '92 GS is sort of "stripped":<P>It has manual locks and variable-speed windows (it depends on how fast you crank 'em). I think that the only Power Options installed were the A/C, and the Power Outside Rearview Mirrors.<P>Anyway, flanking the dash display, there are four spots that are o...

GS PRE-WIRED FOR FOG LIGHTS?
As I will probably be replacing the front-end soon (the stock one is cracked in several places - snow-drift damage methinks), I have a question:<P>Q1. Does anybody know if the GS (mine's a '92 US-spec) is pre-wired, to what extent, for Fog Lamps? We have 'em on our '97 Passat, and I like them for we...

Re: paint jobs
I'm still kina' partial to Black - but try black with a "twist":<P>On an R/C Model Truck that I built a few years ago, I used a black that has a very fine metallic substance in it. When I get my GS re-painted (soon), I am debating either this sort of color, or sticking with plain old "...
