Looking for shocks and springs
Hey guys, here's my deal. I've got an 87 Formula in desperate need of new shocks/struts, springs, and strut mounts. My driver front strut mount is completely shot and so are my rear shocks.
I'm actually wanting to lower the car a little bit but don't think I can go passed 1" because of my 3" exhaust pipe under the passenger side of the car.
I'm looking to see if anyone on here has a set up they used for a while but decided to change. Let me know what everyone has. If I don't find anything on here I'm probably just going to get some Moog springs and some factory replacement shocks/struts. But if I went that route I would like to find a nice set of some used front upper strut mounts. I don't feel like spending $120 on a pair from Summit. Seems a little ridiculous.
Thanks guys!

Re: Looking for shocks and springs
I have a stock gm strut/shock from my 87 Z-28.
I set my car up as a drag car only.
I also have a set of stock gm front springs too.
The car only had 60,000 miles.
Asking: $20. for shocks & $20. for springs
