hello all, Im currently in the middle of a frame off build on my 1980 pontiac lemans.(pics and build thread coming as soon as i get my phone fixed so i can post pics)
So far i have the frame on jack stands beautifully powder coated and most of my suspension parts are cleaned, painted, new bushings, etc. I am using the iroc moog 5662 front springs and iroc cargo coils in the rear along with kdb gas a just shocks. Stock lower a arms w/ rubber bushings and stock spindles along with "g body parts" upper a arms. For bracing Im using the f41 jounce bars along with the "Grand Prix" brace. My question is will I have clearance issues with the grand prix brace and the 36mm sway bar? I would like to run trans am 16' rims but haven't gotten any yet, still only have the stock 14 inch rims. I will also be running a monte carlo ss quick ratio steering box.
Would also love to hear from those who have done similar front end setups what kind of performance and ride quality I can expect from this setup. I definitely care more about handling than ride comfort. Any additional upgrade info greatly appreciated. Would love to beat the rice burners at their own game lol
