      G-Bodies can now rock it with Speed Tech!

      Hey all, Great News! Finally, after development, testing, and perfecting, G-Body suspension parts are now available! As a G-body owner this is great news to me, I'm first in line to change some of my parts over, the quality and features are very cool!

      Here are some cool facts about 'em. Our heavy duty front control arms are significantly stronger and lighter than stock, and both the upper and lower front arms have geometry correction built in. Rear Articulink control arms have true swivel action to dramatically reduce bind, and both upper and lowers are adjustable, including instant center and roll center. All bushings, front and rear, are CNC machined Delrin for a responsive, comfortable ride without the disadvantages of rubber or poly. Front sway bars have extra tire clearance built in and rear bar is adjustable and utilizes a frame mount end link system rather than the less effective traditional lower control arm mount. All parts are gloss black powder coated and complete with all mounting hardware. We also have a Bolt-In true coil over shock system available. They're all a great deal for what you get. Check it out!!

      That's great news Ben...Thanks for sharing.

      I'm actually looking for front LCAs for my car now. Do yours accept press in or screw in style lower ball joints? Also, can you share how far your arms move the lower ball joint forward from the stock arm LBJ position? And will the stock style sway bar work with your Arms? I assume an adapter is needed...

      They look great BTW.

      Thanks,

      In your ad, it says the upper arms have "4 degrees of Positive Camber"

      I think you mean "caster"

      4 degrees of positive Camber would suck.

      Don't forget to advertise to the S-series truck guys too! Many of those parts will work on our trucks as well

      They use a standard Press in. the Ball joint is .400 further forward. the stock sway bar will work but we also have a High clearance bar that allows for larger tires. and the arms come with the required endlinks

      Do you have any pictures of the front bar installed? Curious to see it on a car... my front tires currently rub at full lock.

      A picture of that bar would rock. Ive been looking into how to fit a 315 tire on the front of a g-body and one of my concerns was what to do about the sway bar.

      Not the photo that will end up on the cover of hot rod but you get the idea, that the sway bar and frame are on the same vertical plane so the tire touches both at the same time.

      Interesting. Thanks for the picture, mine has a very similar rub line on the frame and sway bar.

      Does it come with the gray hammertone powder coat, or is gloss black the only option?
