woah woah woah,,,,,,all I have are the shocks. the fronts leak, and the lower studs are a mess. the rears "seem ok", but all are from the early 70s I'm sure.. The springs and sway bar are installed on my SR20 chassis. sorry.

Dutch Boy, huh? Do they still make that?

I just switched my front ones out for LED switchback bulbs. I wanted clear lenses, and this seems like a great combo.
The new bulbs had a ton of LED's all over them.

Here's a video of how they work, in broad sunny daylight:

The can did not appear to be very old. I'll dig around a bit. IIRC Lowes.

Those are great, I just picked up the clear lenses for the front myself as I like that look a lot.
