    SSM Game Changer kit

    We keep our prices uninflated because we actually like these cars and we build our parts in house. We had zero interruptions during covid because none of our parts come to the US on a boat.

    SSM Game Changer kit

    Sorry guys, crazy busy in the shop. Haven't been on here in months. The forged 4140 is simply for strength. We have used EVERY spindle on the market and continued to race on them hard until they bent. They all bent in the end (wide sticky tires in an autocross setting). The 4140 did NOT bend...

    Rear Axle slightly right

    Adjusting the upper control arms will move the rear left to right as needed. Measure between the tire and frame for a good centered location.

    2021 G-Body Classic, Saturday, July 24,2021

    We plan on sending a couple guys up to enjoy the event. It is a good time and you will see all conditions of these old cars. Food, fun, music and trophies. I would agree that staying about 30 miles away and off the interstate would be better than the city. Nice areas near the lake and great...

    Lets see them AFR gauge setups!

    Best to weld it in at the header collector and just above horizontal in orientation. Feed power and ground directly from the battery. The typical A pillar mount is most common next to a vacuum gauge for the carb guys.

    CUTLASS 5658 vs. 5660 real world experience

    This chassis is designed to understeer . That's why front end geometry is so important on this chassis. Long answer short, you can cheat poor geometry by limiting suspension travel. 5660 is stiffer and would help with understeer, a bit. Also rear bar should be about 70% the diameter of the...

    3 inch drop rear springs

    Most of our warehouses have a 5", 4" and 3" rear "Drop" spring for the G Body. They are 300# and ride like a tank, about $100 a set. The "go to" in these parts (for a 3" rear drop G Body) is a 1" A Body 68-72 rear drop spring in the 140-160# range, still about $100 a set. . Our Game Changer...

    1985 442 lowering rear height

    Place 120# on the rear end and you will see the drop the 5401 will provide over the 5409. Side note... Just because the box has a certain part number that doesn't mean that's what is inside. Confirm dimensions from the Moog catalog.
