gto1973

i dont get home for a couple of days um you want the size without the bush in? thanks for the pics mate.

i have a 1974-1975 workshop manual for galant, gto, celeste i think it def has gtos in it if anyone wants

pages emailed to them

oh yea guess not wouldn't wanna wreck it just don't want it to feel like such a boat.

so would they use a leaf of my other set of gto springs or make up a special one.

what sort of place do i contact to do this? (garage or there special places for this

type of thing) from what iv herd nolethane bushes would stiffen it up is this true?

so the short leaf makes the suspension harder? yea i'm gonna put nolathane bushes all round.

torque rods? um how do they attach? i don't know much about cars but thanks for all the input

guys. see if i can find some images.

does any body know about rear sway bars if it would make my car handle better how hard to do with leaf springs ect?
