    So my radiator started leaking and the parts store tells me there's 3 option 5/8", 1" and 1 3/4". I measured the core of my leaking radiator and its 5/8, I was wondering if the inch one would fit? I also have the shorter dog bones to put on, would those cause a fitment issue with the bigger radiator?

    I have an 02 GTP with the 1" radiator and headers, no fitment problems. Others may be able to help better if they knew year and style of car

    97 gtp and i got the shorter dogbones (zzp) because i noticed a little shutter once it was lowered (eibach springs) and zzp claimed
    Better oil pickup during drag racing
    Removes vibration caused from lowering the car
    Better axle alignment for less HP loss through the shafts
    Increased weight on the front tires for better launching
    Added clearance to sway bar for header and downpipe installs

    i do have plans of headers as id like to do some more mods but thats the next step so i can get that exhaust gas out
