I've seen a really beefy setup on one of the cars that is being parted.
Not the skinny kind that I had on my 95 855 base.

thanks

They are Nivomats...my Platinum Wagon has them too.

It's a toss up if you want them or not. I like them because once in a while I haul a bunch of shit in it and they're self-leveling. You'll also need the springs that go with them.

Downside...they're expensive as hell to replace.

thanks for the hint about springs. I will probably get them once I'm near the car.
