Not Ranked
Tim,
I didn't realize there was as much of a $ spread between the Autometer and SW gauges. I guess if I was starting from scratch, I would tend to lean towards reliability, since my SW gauges are by no means perfect. Looking at the new Autometer 427 S/C gauges, they look to be identical except for the SW logo, but in the end you have to be satisfied with your selection. I also can't speak for the reliability of the new SW gauges versus my older units.
My SV frame looks identical to the current frames and is as rigid as you noted, with no noticeable deflection when jacked up. The ride is good. The older SV's used a longer rear coil-over with lighter spring rates, so I found by tightening up the spring, the rear went up slightly but the handling improved. I'm looking to change out my rear springs to a higher rate. One other CC member (HighPlainsDrifter) indicated that he has installed a panhard rod on his SV, which would be interesting to see. SV indicates that a panhard is not required or recommended, but that could be a point of contention. What issues are you experiencing?
