Do you have a pic. of this Hurst Rescue Gremlin. I have never heard of them, were they sold here or just over seas? On the Pacer springs you got from ESPO did you get the standard bushings or the urathane ones? I got new shackles with the urathane ones. The springs were 160$ plus 21$ for freight. The bushings were 91$ includeing shipping and my friend charged me 225$ to insall them. Oh and the gas shocks were 35$. The car looks and rides and handles much better.
