...with the bronze markings, Sachs shocks.
I happen to still have the box: The kit is marked Made in Germany, and was shipped in 1998, so is most likely the last version of this kit.
FWIW, some time ago I had a quality indie shop (Scanwest) test drive my car due to some weird handling issues. One of the comments they made was that the car had a *very* stiff ride. I've never driven an SPG, but their comment makes me wonder if the kit is not the same as an SPG's set-up.
I will be doing tie-rods & adding shims to rear springs when I get a chance over the next few weeks; will get a coil count, put micrometer around the springs & report back...

Ubipa, good wheel info on your site. One correction re: Aeros & Super Aeros - a recent thread on turbo! forum confirms that *both* of these rims are ET27, not 33...
