Sounds like fun. I don't know much about GTO's, but I am sure somebody else knows a ton. Hopefully they will chime in and help. I know how it is having the entire car taken apart to the frame. Mine is in the same condition only worse (major fab work to frame).

Good luck,
Joe

www.scandc.com check out stage 2 or stage 2 plus kit or if you have the cash the ATS spindle setup. Tubular lower arms don't do anything for handling they are just stronger than stock.

There is only one part GW sells that I would use... lower A-arms, which keep the stock geometry anyway. :hand: Their upper A-arms are good too, but SC&Cs adjustable arms are better for less money.

GW still believes in useing the B-body spindles which are just slightly better than scrap metal IMHO.

SC&C is the only company I know of that sells everything for an A-body, and Mark is more interested in selling you good parts to make your car perform well, rather than selling hyped up mediocre products with bogus claims.

I am not in any way affilliated with SC&C, just a happy customer. :bananna2: www.scandc.com (http://www.scandc.com) :twothumbs
