Re: exhaust studs or bolts? and suspension

["Erik" <pats16v@columbus.rr.com>]

Which studs are you referring to?  Either way a nut and bolt of the proper 
size should wok fine.  Being a vendor for KYB I can tell you you will beat 
the stuts to death with anything more than 16V Springs.  Even Gas-A-Just's 
would be marginal at best.  But they are no good since they don;t make front 
struts for our cars, sealed or otherwise.  My 78 has 350 pound springs in 
the rear and they just get the job done. HTH
