the L98`s had conventional rubber lined dampers. yes, you can install a fluid type damper, but it must be close to stock diameter.
the larger (8 inch, i think) dampers will not clear the frame...
i dont think you will find any real performance gains from it.

They're a waste of money except on higher hp higher end motors. If you're drag racing and need a SFI approved damper, and you have a 10-15,000 dollar engine that you plan on spinning to 8 grand, then you would probably benefit from one. If you want to put one on your street car that doesnt make more than 350 hp you're wasting your money.
