I wanted to hear from people who have done the b-body big brake and spindle conversion and what kind of wheels you are fitting on the front.

Thanks guys. Is there any issues with the kyb Gr2s? I was under the impression that they are qaulity shocks. I cannot find the specs on the summit website.

I would suggest a B-body brake/spindle conversion if you have the time.

Hmm, I have two G-bodies, one with steel braided lines and the other I just replaced the 25 year hoses with new rubber ones and didnt notice a difference detween the two cars. The real difference is just replacing the old stock ones with new ones.

Oh, and by the way, my car is an 86 cutlass for anyone fuming at the idea of putting an sbc in place of the 3.8 turbo motor. As a matter of fact, I am in the process of putting together a buick motor to replace the chevy motor.

The design of the spring is generic for a G-body car, unfortunately Summit doesnt provide any more info. I have a ford 9 nine inch rearend with a proportioning valve. I dont believe its a brake problem. Just pressing down on the front of the car the springs seem very soft. After reading some...

Hi, just wanted to know if someone else has had a similar problem. I installed summit racing brand lowering springs front and rear with kyb gr2 shocks. The handling has been much better but the front end dives pretty hard on hard braking. Has anyone else had issues with these springs possibly...

The sound is coming from the valvetrain, and it does not sound like a bearing, and yes, it has the correct bearings.

anybody? any usefull responses would be much appreciated, thanks! It was rebuilt due to low oil pressure because of excessive bearing wear.

I just recently put new bearings, rings, etc in my engine that ran well. I put it back together with the same lifters and cam only to hear alot of loud metallic valvetrain noise, it doesnt sound like lifter ticks, anyone know what could cause this?

I recently took my engine apart and repalced the rings, bearings, etc. Well I started it up and there seems to be a lot of loud valvetrain noise, not lifter ticking, but metallic sounds. I have yet to take off my valvecovers, before I do I just wanted some ideas of what could cause this. I did...

Thanks guys!

Hi, Im new to this website, I just wanted to know where on my engine I can tap into an oil passage to get an oil pressure reading. Thanks
