Hey all, My GT/CS is supposed (and did) have factory headrests (per Marty report) on the front bucket seats. Unfortunately the headrest's were too far gone to salvage, as were the bucket seats. Due to the rarity of the headrest's and mounting assembly, would it be acceptable to use 69 seats...

I'm getting ready to reinstall the rear end in my GT/CS and am having a quandry on rear leaf springs. Should I get the stock leaf springs, (which may I hear cause the rear end to sit lower than the front) or a slightly lifted spring (which may cause the car to sit level or slightly higher in...
