Also late to the roll-call. 1980 Buick Regal Limited that has been in the family from day one. Started as a 3.8L 2bbl V6, now has a L98 TPI 350 (EFI intact) with a 200R4 overdrive trans. Modified GN Buick exhaust system. Boxed lower control arms, boxed upper and lower rear trailing arms. 3:42 gears with an Auburn limited slip. 1989 Iroc front springs and quick ratio steering box. F41 front and rear sway bars, and frame reinforcements. 16X8 GN Wheels with 225 50 16 Fuzions.
Looking to do the GW UCAs with the 12" B body spindles and 1LE rotor, and installed the 1989 rear Iroc disk brakes.
Wanted to keep the car looking grand-ma like, although the exhaust kind of gives it away, to keep with the sleeper look.

You G body guys need an aftermarket frame? I was talking to Jeff Schwartz about the G body craze and a void to fill. if you look at www.gmachinechassis.com you can see what I'm talking about.

Only if it got rid of the 4-link and went to a Watts-link or something that allows the solid axle to articulate more. That is just for starters... Originally Posted by frankenstang

Let me correct my first post. When I say we I mean my boss (Jeff). We use a triangulated 4 link like the existing design. The links are tubular steel with teflon-lined spherical rod ends. QA1 coilovers are standard and there's a Air-ride option. This is of course for our existing A body and 1st gen camaro and mustang applications. Call Jeff at the shop if you would like more clarification. www.schwartzperformance.com I think we can convince him to build one if there is enough interest.
