Beautiful.... that's pretty wide for fronts... Any issues ? Wheel spacers used front or back?

No issues, no spacers. MUST have tall upper ball joints so the camber curve is better. Stuff springs too. I'm running RideTech coilovers and front a arms. What a world of difference from stock. Corners amazing and many of the Corvette guys are jealous when they see I have more tire than they do 😁

I've got tall uppers and lowers. And that's what I'm trying to build. Something comparable to a vettes handling. and hopefully I can stuff a little more out back with the frame notch.

I'm running 700lb springs in the front of my car and it rides better than the cut lowering springs I had in it before.

And I thought the 550's I bought would be too much!

The pivot point on the lower control arm is closer to the frame so that's the reason for the stiffer springs 😉

BUILD THREAD - Project long time coming

So some of you may know me from a couple of other sites. I've been around g-bodies since my dad ordered a brand new '78 Regal. I've owned three myself, and that includes my current one. Randomly, they were all '78 Malibu two doors. Yes I love the body style, just happened they were all '78's. So...
