early 80's in my modded '80 Turbo SE, I installed bolt-in subs with the stock WS6 bushings, that was '82. Little later changed over to alum Herb Adams spacers w thin rubber covers. The Herb alum spacers moved the subframe closer to the body & required trimming an extra fan shroud @ the top for fan clearance... never liked that. Later, after cracking the T-bar of the roof, for the second time, had a new roof skin installed & had local chassis shop install custom weld-in subs. There def was more road noise emanating from the chassis once I went with the VSE solid alum spacers between the subframe & body. I'd taken my stereo setup out by that time & put the original radio block off plate back in. I didn't mind the additional noise esp with deleted restictive resonators & deleted cat. Always had a Sony Walkman laying in the glovebox back then. when a girlfriend had to have music riding in the T/A, it was Walkman time.
