I just bought this car and am trying to figure out exactly what I have for parts. The previous owner bought it on ebay and didn't have a single piece of paperwork on it.
1988 Cutlass LS1, T56, Cage, 3 link, Watts link, tubular a arms. DAILY DRIVER!

Oh yeah I see it now. So is this a common swap? I was pretty sure it has the LS1 f body brakes. I have a lot of g body experience but this suspension is modified much more than I have had before.

Could be the SC&C G5 package?

That sure looks like it. I guess I didn't measure the rotors yet. It is being fitted for wheels today so I will check it out tomorrow.

That`s an old G-5 package. C5 rotors (LS1 rotors won`t fit) with LS1 calipers. Give a call if you have any tech questions. Mark SC&C

Awesome! Thanks. I am working on getting backspacing measurement for new wheels. I can't wait to push it's limits and test durability as this will be daily driven. I will contact you about what service/maintenance parts to use

4.5" BS works best with 17" wheels and G-5s. Larger dia. wheels can tuck more tire but you`ll still likely hit the sway bar before full lock. You`ll love the handling! FYI judging by the parts on that car I`d say it`s limits have been pushed and it`s durability tested for about 11 years already. :) Mark SC&C
