i thought GD suspension wouldn't fit the GC body... did i miss something somewhere?

Chris

[DvSkD4]

yeah it fits, people have just told me i might need to reuse the GC tophats

[DvSkD4]

did some research and seems like a lot of people are happy with red line oils for the tranny and rear diff ... so i bought some =)



EDIT: Do NOT put Red Line's heavyweight gear oil in your rear diff
