Do I Have Gymkhana Suspension
I have a 77 without the manufacturer order. How can I tell by looking under the rear end if I have Gymkhana Suspension or not?
Thanks, Bob

Don't make changes to the rear without balancing that with the approprate changes to the front. The gymkhana has stiffer front springs and a thicker front sway bar. Without these your suspension will be unbalanced. Could find your rear trying to pass the front. If you make any changes be sure to look at what changes must be made on the other end.

You want a balanced setup, add the larger FE-7 front bar w/ the rear bar.
Later you could increase spring rates Ft. & Rear.
