I've been surfing through the forums, digging out information. I just need clarification on the 280 struts are a direct bolt on, as I've read that I may have to cut and weld pieces from my stock strut?

Looking for more stability and control than stock. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to change out the front breaks and everything else that comes with it.

My resources are limited only by what I can pull off by hand in my local "pull it yourself" junk yards.

The rear end sags on it's own, which makes speed bumps an exhaust hazard. What is a replacement for the rear springs on this old baby?

I know, for sure, that I will be replacing the alternator (to a single wire system), and the distributor to an electronic system (the point system on this old girl has given me pains for years - running on one point currently)

Thanks!

These questions my be better suited for 510again or 510realm.
