New to the forums, from FL, 1980 Malibu

[boosted80]

Whats up guys! New to the site. Just introducing myself. My name is Matt. Reside in Pensacola, FL, Project is a 1980 Malibu. Soon to be project "Twin Screw" If you are a g-body master, please check out my post in the wheel and tire forum. Im trying my best to find some answers.. This site looks GREAT and full of info. I think this will help a ton with building this car!

[BMR Sales]

Welcome Matt! It s nice to see another Florida guy here..... we are down in Tampa so if you ever get down this way let me know!

What do you have planned for the car? Try to post a few pics of it if you can.

[boosted80]

I will be sure to do that! As soon as i pull it out to get started i will for sure get pics up. The plans for the car as of now, is twin turbo, six speed, full coilover suspension, a full pro-touring/autocross malibu. It doesnt look like many have been done like this, and im stoked to get started.

[boosted80]

I would love some more info about the suspension you guys carry.. How close do they match up to DSE? That is who i have been looking at, but they are pretty pricey..

Hey Matt...... here is a picture of our current G-Body system...

We can add front coil-over conversion as well. What exactly are you looking to do to the suspension?

[boosted80]

All of that, but put in front and rear coilovers. Low and tight are my goals.. A lot of the DSE cars are what gave me the inspiration for the stance and "pro-touring" route.

Well i have had a change in projects. lol! I will now be building a 79 camaro. What do you offer for the 2nd gen F-bodies?

[BMR Sales]

I had a 79 Berlinetta and converted it into a Z28 clone awhile ago. We offer front A-Arms & sway bar as well as our rear Torque Arm. We can also set you up with QA1 coilovers for the front to match the rear. We are now offering tall bal joints for better camber gains, Delrin bushings and we are developing weld-in subframe connectors.


Check out Ty Engle's 71 Firebird "Freedom Bird" that we supplied in bare metal components to the builder (Fletcher's) and they had them coated to match the car.

Here is a install article that Super Chevy did a few years back:

Here is a VERY informative tech article written by our R&D manager explaining what it does:

We also offer a Torque Arm kit for guys who want a Ford 9" that includes a bare Strange housing for $600 more. Take a look at the link below detailing an install that a member here completed with our Ford 9 in. kit in his 1973 Firebird:

[boosted80]

Thanks a lot for that info! That really helps! I really like the set up of the torque arms.. That just may be the way i go now. I REALLY like the kit that comes with the 9" housing. Do you guys install the back braces on those housings as well?

Is there any way that you can PM me the cost of the front A-arms, Front coil-overs, Front sway bar, Rear torque arm w/strange housing(with back braces if you guys do that) and Rear coil-overs? I am VERY interested in these products.

[BMR Sales]

Yes...... we can order the housing from your needed specs. We get the housings from Strange as shown below:

Then we put them in our jig and start welding the tabs and brackets on:

Will do! Let me know if you have any other questions....... BTW we need to see the 79...... try to post a few pics when you get a chance.

[BMR Sales]

Hey Matt..... just thought I would send you a link made by another 2nd gen guy here who ordered some front arms from us....
