I have been looking for performance shocks specifically for the front of my 80. Looking on the http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/ (re-speed) sight they have a coilover/camber/racing shock set up I am kinda looking at but I didn't know what I would have to do to make the shocks fit correctly. Does anyone have any experience with this system.



Also I want to convert to 5 lug front hubs and didn't know where I could get some or what I have to take to a machine shop to get them done.



Any help with also wanting to swap in an rear disk with lsd rear differential would help too.

I've bought tons of stuff from Re-speed including the big brake and can tell you everything is top notch and if you talk to Billy (the owner) he's always more than helpful to answer any of your questions. If you want Disk brakes and LSD, get a rear end that 83.5 and from a GSL or GSL-se and get the axles from Re-Speed with the 5 lug on there .

for the record the 79-80 strut tubes are a little longer, so you need a spacer if you put in 81+ strut inserts. spacer = piece of pipe
