need some info

hey guys , I'm wondering which is best for my set up . I had a 87 T II which I just wrecked in the wall n a recient local race and was switching everything I could into a 90 GTU body , and I found out that the front the Tie ends where alot different between these years . The Turbo cars have a solid piece of steel with 2 eyelets between the sway bar and the front mound , but the 90 GTU has a 2 thin pieces of steel between a piece of rubber . I was thinkning that the 90 GTU would probably have a better system than I found . I know the turbo cars have been set up with beefier everything , but I figured that a 90 GTU would be more updated than a 87 Turbo . Which do you guys suggest for a 1/4 mile oval track ???

Thanks in advance

Switch everything in the rear over. You're gonna need that beefed up rear cradle. Let me know if you need any help. I've helped Matt (Randy's bro) take out 2 of the cradles.

Your "90 GTU" is a base model.
It has smaller bars.
