spring isolator question
i searched and couldn't find anything.
i'd rather have poly rear spring isolators for my 83 bird but i cant find any.
my question is: will the rear spring isolator from a 1967-88 Chevelle, El Camino, Monte Carlo fit on my Firebird? (p/n 311-7-1706-BL from prothane- $6.99 from jegs)
if not i need the height and width measurements off the F-body ones so i can see if they have a universal one in that size.
any help would be AWESOME since i've been trying to find something for weeks.....thanks.
p.s. if all else fails i'll just go to the local pontiac dealer and get the (4th gen) stock ones.

Re: spring isolator question
yea i know the 4th gen ones are a bit taller but it doesn't matter to me.
does anyone know if the monte carlo isolators will fit???
and what are the measurements of the stock 3rd or 4th gen ones?

Re: spring isolator question
b/c i would like to get poly ones instead of the rubber and if th monte carlo ones wont fit i'd like to see if they have a "universal" one in the same size as the f-body ones.
