Default Gymkhana suspension

My 77 has a rear sway bar. Is this part of the gymkhana option or a standard fitting. Just a query.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

You might also look at your front coil springs.

When I took the front suspension apart on my 1980, the springs still had the original green paper tags with part number and Broadcast Code for an FE7 suspension. The car has somewhere around 85K miles on it. The tags were protected by being somewhat up in the shock towers.

My sway bars are also: front = 1 1/8" and rear = 7/16".
