My new setup on the GN

[1-CLN-SS]

I am new to the site but i just wanted to share my new setup.The wheels are HRE's 19x8.5 with 245/35's and 19x10 with 305/30's.The suspension setup is Moog 5658 springs(cut half coil)front and Fbody springs(cut full coil)rear with Bilsteins on all 4 corners.It rides and handles pretty good.

I had replaced all the stock OE brake components earlier this year but with stock stuff.I might upgrade to a LS front and rear system in the future but its not in the plans right now.My current brakes work pretty good for the kind of driving that i do which is just the casual weekend cruise.

Your car looks really good.. I have always loved the GNs, couldnt even afford to own though. When those dudes came out they amazed EVERYONE. Specially the unsuspecting vett next to them on a two lane freeway onramp. WHAT!! Looks great. JR

1-CLN-SS That is one sweet yet wicked looking ride! :twothumbs :drool: I have 3 questions for you:

What is the backspacing on your front wheels?

Was it the F-body cargo coil rear springs you used or something else?

I'm guessing you did a minitub and frame notch to get 305's under the rear?

Thanks for any info

[1-CLN-SS]

Dont know the backspacing of the wheels.Sorry

The rear springs and isolators came off an 86 Camaro.

And yes the frame is notched but no minitube was needed.

man, i love the grannys... a close friend had a few of them and one scared the crap out of me.. to this day its the fastest car I've been in. To compare it, Ive riden in a 575 supercharged GT.. its a close second ..
anyway nice car, but I never would pick a black wheel on a black car.. looks like a sea of black and atleast in the pictures its difficult to see the wheel design. As long as you like it thats what counts.. later

Yea i hear yall on the black.That wasn't my first choice in wheels but i found these HRE's cheap and couldn't pass on a good deal.Thats the only reason that i got them.I prefer chrome wheels myself.Here is a pic of my SS with some 22x9 and 22x11 Asanti's

Here is a pic of my old wheels Torqlites 18x7 and 18x8

I prefered the torqlites better but just didnt like the fact that they only came in 18x8 and i wanted a wider rear rim.

looks sinister...

[nekkidhillbilly]

buick ahhhh yes

[BADNBLK]

Looks very nice!!!! It needs some nice big brakes to break up all the black of the wheel.

[GregInAtl]

Oh my, the impala is SO sick! You know what I think, I saw your GN on turbobuick, and I LOVE it!

[JT_67Tempest]
