I am an A hole about the SLH write up because it'll kill you done wrong. The 54mm front brakes and 10" rear solid disks are a lot more front strong than Dempseys setup. Yet a friend could have died buy running 10" solids without mini van fronts. L bodys are just too nose heavy, sorry I was so loud, just making sure people heard me in the back

I would be very happy with gas adjust on all 4 corners. But talking KYB into it may be tough

Only a little. The L body is a completely different animal than the other models. You won't be able to get Konis, not new anyhow. Also, don't use Eibach springs with the KYBs unless you want a horrible ride.

As for the OP, someone is working on adapting Neon coil overs to our cars. You might want to hold out and see how that goes.

I am looking for gray interior trim for a J-body (1987-1989) LeBaron coupe hardtop. If you have anything please PM me before throwing it out.

You can go to FWD Performance and get those old LRE,lowered autoX springs, I believe the spring rate are 180 lbs/in front and 145lbs/in rear, that's really not that high of a spring rate and the KYB's should work fine. I thought that the front autox spring was 240 lb/in, but all I found in the 2.2 speed secrets was 180 & 145 lb/in!
