    I think this sums it up....

    Installed rear sway bar - Awesome!

    Yes it does clamp to the axle tubes like a real sway bar. The end links attach to the frame. Easy install in an hour or two.

    Installed rear sway bar - Awesome!

    I bought the Hellwig pro-touring RSB and couldn't be happier! I mainly bought this to help my launches at the track, but it completely changed the car on the street as well. My suspension is otherwise 100% stock V6 stuff. I had a factory rear sway bar and it didn't seem like it did anything...

    Need headers that will clear everything...

    I'm looking for the perfect set of headers for my 84 Regal... Currently has a 383 sbc with the 1 5/8 hooker headers and straight plug heads. I have a set of Dart Pro 1 heads(angle plug) that I would like to throw on. I am almost certain the angle plugs won't fit the Hooker headers. Plus the...

    Thinking of selling my Regal... Bad decision?

    I like the CTS-V's because they are low key and don't stand out. The late model computer keys pretty much guarantee that the car can't be stolen(unless by tow truck). I think the on-star would even help recover it if it was stolen. I've had the urge to have a car that was manual transmission...

    Thinking of selling my Regal... Bad decision?

    I have had a great time building this car, but I can now consider it almost "done". In the 4 years I've had it, it received all new engine, trans, rearend, driveshaft and paint. It runs 11.50's in the heat here in Las Vegas and if I go any faster I'll have to put a cage in it. Since I have a...

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    I'll go with some 275/50/17's on the rear most likely. I have a rolled fender lip, but haven't touched the frame yet. After reading some of these posts I think I'm going to be sliding all over my cushy bench seat once the suspension is done. I'll have to add some 5 point harnesses. Anyone...

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    For the $3k I was just talking suspension. Brakes, wheels, etc would be another day. The car came with some 17x8.5 Centerlines that aren't my favorite, but they work. For drag racing I have some Weld Prostars with Hoosier 27x11.50x15 DOT slicks. As much as I race I get pretty tired of...

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    When do you expect this new Pro-Tour bar to hit the market? I was hoping to order the Stage 3 kit between xmas and new years. It looks like a great package. I can't wait to ditch the 27 year old 6 cylinder suspension! At this point I think my F350 handles better than the Buick.

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    Has anyone here done the full, stage 3 UMI Performance suspension kit for the G-body? That is the way I would be leaning. Plus new body mount bushings and any needed bracing. The only thing I question in the UMI kit is the stock style sway bar. For all the drag racing I do I like the idea of...

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    I threw the words "gn autocross" into my youtube search and found pleny of GN's ripping up some pavement. I'm just wondering how far they had to go to get those results.

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    I had an El Camino owner tell me they did the basics...Springs, shocks, all poly bushings and it bare drove any different. I'm thinking it would also need the big sway bars and maybe some control arms. I was hoping to find some videos of g-bodys driving aggressively on the twisties, but can...

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    I'm not looking to road race or anything. Just something a little fun to drive in the corners. I know it's not going to be a Corvette.

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    I'll happily trade the ride for good handling. I just want to make sure I don't end up with a harsh ride and a car that still corner's like it is from the 80's. I'd be willing to put $2-3k in it if that was enough.

    gbody handling mods - are they worth it?

    My 84 Regal has pretty much just been a fun street/strip car without any emphasis on handling. I've got it running 11.50's in the 1/4 and I don't plan on putting a cage in it. I am going to add a large rear anti-roll bar to get some better behavior on my launches which got me looking at...
