Default whats wrong with my 85 GT

OK here it goes.......
Shocks/struts
Fuel pump
front brake hose
brake clyinders




Those are the big problems right now. My guy at napa said my price on the clyinders is 10 a piece. I thing Im gona buy my fuel pump off ebay. There's are cheap and better then checkers, auto zones, and napa's. Napa has my hose. I am having trouble with the shocks/struts. Im looking for good ones, but still cheap.

monroe's the best you'll get on struts unless you change the spindles out for 87-93 ones. Shocks can be whatever you want to run.

What else is different besides the spindle on an 85? When I put my cobra r's on they rubbed in the front and I had to use a spacer. What all do I need to change to get rid of the spacer?
Not trying to hijack, I also was wondering about shocks?
