Hey man, trying to do like me and make money back on an '89 GTA? Here's some info--

They were not any more powerful than standard T/A's and Z28's. No special body panels. Ground effects/hood are identical. Mostly badging. If the car does have the GTA badges, theres a good chunk of money right there. I know new they cost upwards of $350 for a complete set.

Think of the GTA as the "WS6" of that year. Stiffer springs, heavier sways, etc.

Rears--I *think* they came with 10 bolts standard but some do have the 9-bolt. Usually, with an auto, you'll have the 3.27 version. If not, you've got the 2.78?. You might get lucky and get the 3.45 version. FYI--I sold my 3.27 Disc-Disc 9-bolt for $325.

Anything else--you know where to find me.
