Or maybe its the mysoginistic attitude about "getting laid" thats ruining your chances. After all, what woman couldn't resist the opportunity to be treated like a piece of meat?
Seriously, guys... lets not scare Maelune and all the other gals off Rennlist.

I was just being sarcastic. It's funny how seriously everyone is taking Melissa's presence. It's really no big deal. Just an excuse to fool around a bit.
Take it easy everyone.
One more thing: stay on topic.

Some more info adjusted for what you can actually use:
No bolt-on KYB nor Bilstein front struts available for 87 944 unless you want coil-overs.
Since suspensions are a set, especially shocks and struts, here are two examples:
Boge/Sachs OE (original equipment) - ~$500 for front and rear. Restores stock ride (capable - remember the 944 was deemed one of the best handling cars of its day.) Specifically, 944.343.031(032).17 front, 951.333.032.05 rear.
Koni Sport (adjustable sport dampers) - ~$550 for front and rear. Koni Sports are valved such that they are stiffer at the lower setting than new OE Sachs struts and are adjustable up to 100% from that point. They can be used with or without stiffer springs and torsion bars. The only catch here is that the front strut is a bit of a chore to install because you have modify the original housings to accomodate them. Involves a hacksaw and a drill. Complete instructions provided, or, this service is available for an additional charge. Specifically, 8641-1414S front, 8040-1035S rear.
There are two additional rear shocks available: Bilstein B36-2052 for ~$90 and KYB KG4544 for ~$35. We specifically do not recommend KYB shocks and struts.
Good Luck!

hmm, I wold never buy a KYB GR2 again. I put them on one of my Maximas and I thought they were soft from day one. Then it was hardly a year before I thought they were too soft. I put Koni on my nice Max, and they rock.
I know the P-car is no max.... but the products are the topic.

At clubs...I usually come up to the hottest girl I see and ask, "do you f*** as well as you dance?"
But, really, that can't be it.

Serge, you gotta try that line at least 100 times. People will ask you, "Why do you do that? They all turn you down!". Then you smuggly snicker, "yeah, but sometimes, it WORKS!". It's not the 100 No's that you want to worry about, it's the 1 YES at the end that makes it all worthwile... heh, heh... 
"The only catch here is that the front strut is a bit of a chore to install because you have modify the original housings to accomodate them. Involves a hacksaw and a drill."
Sawzall... takes about 30-seconds per strut to cut the top off!

Try Euclid Foreign in Cleveland OH (sorry, I don't have the number handy and am running to work right now... you should be able to google it). They have had good prices on Bilstein for me in the past, ask for Sandy.
