The springs that are up into the frame pocket like originals. Do not need the tabs cut. That is what locates the spring. The tabs cut are for the 2.5" diameter springs. They need to be cut to make clearance for the skinny spring to go inside that area. I trimmed mine but clamping each one with...

Any broken posts or tabs on the header panel?

I do not need mufflers. Only tail pipes.

Look underneath the passenger seat at the exhaust system. Does it have a catalytic converter or a straight piece of pipe. If you are unsure of what it looks like. Post a pic. Also check for fuel leaks after driving it.

Something broke under the car. You can see sparks just before it crashed.

Just tail pipes. Not polished, aren't the stock ones black?

Do you know of any vendors just selling the tailpipes? I do not need a whole system and few seem to realize exit out the bumper is incorrect.

What offset is needed to run 16" GNX wheels on an 87 GN with no fender flares?

Get 450 or higher if you expect handling improvement. As for rear, make sure the arms have ability to tilt or articulate. Arms with solid, stiff or polyurethane are hard on mounts, bushing and bolts. Sometimes the mounts break off as the rear axle tries to articulate.

I like them. 15" GN steel wheels have problems fitting over disc brakes. 16" has a super slim tire selection and 17", only a grand each to solve that problem.:oops:

That makes total sense Pace. I am experiencing that right now. The disc that came with my Moser Engineering rear has the big Ford bearing and Ford flange on the end. Came with single piston 11" disc brakes. Same caliper as a Cadillac Elderado. They will not clear my 87 GN steel wheel but my...

Anyone tried Kirban Performance this week. Apr 2022. I got no answer and unanswered emails from last week.

I found a couple more proper shoulder bolts and removed the clip on the new gas strut. It works perfectly with 4 matching shoulder bolts and no clip. Thanks.

ONYX, your picture shows 4 shoulder bolts. This is what I need. I'm just missing a couple bolts. I have the AC Delco 510309 like TurboTguy's link. Maybe I just need to remove the clip.

I have new AC Delco gas struts and they have a clip on the end. What kind of fasteners are required to install these. Is it a ball, shoulder bolt or stud with clip?
