Hi Slim, `64-`72 A body and `78-`88 G body (yes, `78-`80 are still technically called A body although they are G body format) are roughly similar in format but for the most part nothing interchanges. The ball joints and tie rod ends have different tapers, the spindles are different formats...

Okay guys let`s set a few things straight (no pun intended) here. Swaybars are NOT intended to locate the rear axle laterally. Ever. No matter if they`re stock ProTouring or drag race. That`s the job of the upper trailing arms in a C4L suspension such as that of the G body. What happened here...

TR, Steve Spohn used that ad copy and the pic that I took of the pre production bar (gray,rather than black or red) for that matter with our permission. Nothing personal Mark, I suppose Steve can sell the bars to anyone he wants now that our development is done. There`s just something uncool to...

Nice pics. The bar we developed for Spohn looks great on your car. I think you`ll like it a lot. We`ve been running the original prototype for close to 7 years now and this current version since last fall. I`m very pleased with how it came out. If I may ask a favor though please take my ad copy...

Hi Ormand. I haven`t posted here for a long time but I thought I should explain my statements. The rear swaybar on G (and A) body cars must bend in order for the rear axle to articulate. Jack up just one side of your rear axle. Now look closely down at the bushings in the lower arms. You`ll...

What are you running for shocks? There should be a good amount of clearance with 235s and stock wheels. There are guys running 275-40-17s up front with that package (but it`s tight :) ). Moog 5658 seem to be pretty popular on GNs but depending on how worn your stock springs are they may lower...

Respecting Bruce`s vendor rules on the forum I`m afraid I can`t discuss them here any further (unless we become a paid supporter, which we probably will) but they`re in production and available to those who contact us off forum. Thanks and sorry for the confussion! Marcus

I`ve checked my mail (scnc@fast.net) and I don`t see anything from you. Could you please resend it? Thanks! Marcus

Ooops! Geeze I don`t mean to step on anyones toes. Mods please feel free to delete this post or relocate it as you see fit. Most of the other forums I participate on are okay with a heads up on a new product as long as it`s on topic. I look forward to getting the info on forum sponsorship. :)...

We`ve been selling our HD tubular chassis braces for several years now and they`ve been really popular. BUT...they won`t clear the intercooler on a GN or Turbo T. So I went to Kirban`s last big GN get together and measured and looked over every GN there and designed a new brace just for Buick...

That`s a pretty common problem. Just use our greasable steel bushed arms and you`ll have 0 worries about the heat. Despite rumors you may have heard to the contrary about steel bushings they hold up very well on the street and actually ride better than many rubber or poly bushed arms. Often it`s...

Have you adjusted the latches yet? My Ts were load as all get out. After adjusting the latches they were 70% quieter. Pull the Ts out and look where the locking pins engage the body. Those plates have big screws in them. Loosen them and you can move the plates. A little bit makes a big...

Hey Jake,sorry I didn`t see this post until now. Not really,it widens it just under a 1/4" (the thickness of the C-5 rotor hat). If you say,already had a set of 17" wheels that fit the car well,they`ll still fit with the G-5. Provided they don`t have more than 4.5" BS that is. Marcus

Do a search here,at www.montecarloss.com or the FAQ page here www.SCandC.com for the b swap and make sure you know it`s downsides too before you get into it. IMO you`re better of either getting a good set of Performance Friction or Hawk pads for the brakes you have or coughing up the bucks for a...

Keep in mind that these cars were designed with a good deal of understeer. That makes lawyers happy but it`s not the quick or fun way through the twisties. Adding a larger front swaybar will make the car corner a tiny bit flatter but it will increase the degree of understeer even more. If you...

Street Comp Stg.3 is actually rear suspension for G bodys. It`s a fully adjustable 3 link with panhard bar sysytem similar to what`s used in the SCCA TranAm series. It uses the factory lower control arms with a single upper link (adjustable for pinion angle and antisquat) and height adjustable...

pics Just click on the link to the website. :cool: The Stg.2 looks just like the Stg.1 except for the addition of tall lower ball joints. Marcus www.SCandC.com

Yep,well for the most part. My company sells a package called G-5. It uses new C-5/C-6 forged aluminum steering knuckles and brakes along with adj. tubular upper control arms and custom CNC machined 7075 T-6 steering arms. The remainder of the front suspension remains stock or aftermarket G...

Yes,it`s intended for use with stock spindles and brakes or stock spindles with aftermarket upgrade brakes. 15" and even most 14" wheels work also. It`s a real nice step between stock GN and our no holds barred C-5 based G-5 suspension package. Marcus

Here`s another combo for you. Fresh Moog HD rubber LCA bushings (or Del-a-lums if money`s no object). Ditto the rear LCAs. Edelbrock or Currie adj. rear UCAs with greasable spherical bearings on the frame end. You can adjust the pinion angle with them to tweak your launches and they center the...
