  • Does anyone know a current shock PN (Koni adjustable would be really great) that are bolt-in fits for the CMC Chevette MG TD?
    I’ll be happy to be among the first to try them in this application if I can be reasonably sure I’m buying the right ones.

    Not sure if they’d fit or not, but I bought my wiper arms and blades from MG Magic in Florida. (954) 680-2010 and ask for Brad Anderson.  He is a straight shooter and will tell you if the stuff he has will fit to your wi…[Read more]
