    Lightning Exhaust?

    4.0 Ohv GT... From what I have discoverd your best option is to get after market cats, primary and secondary to leave your exhaust in stock style fashion and simply use a 40-50 serries flowmaster or magnaflow to get the sound. From my understanding if you put straight pipes on a 4.0 ohv it may...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    sizes Ok here is the website for QA1 shocks though, if you get them through the company they charge $200 per shock without the coil over mounts and stuff... you're better off going through a distributer. As you can see from their website in the PDF file they have 1 5/8'' shock 2.0, and 2.5...

    RCD shock and mount numbers.

    Oh I forgot.... One of the nice aspects of the QA1 shocks is that they can be mounted upside down... this is nice because the coilsprings would interfere at all with the CV's.... just FYI
