I've been following this buildup for the past couple of years. Its very detailed, but I'd really like to see the project concluded-I'm very curious to see the finished product.

There was a thread on this buildup awhile ago on here or the car craft forum I cant really remember.

Thats insane. But it was a tease, not seeing it finished yet.

 

[CuttyKid442]

I would like to see the finished product and how it handles!!!!!

 

[87PearlRegal]

I knew I wasn't crazy about putting a C5 rear end in my regal. Now I REALLY want to attempt this on my ride!

 

[CuttyKid442]

I feel the same way 87PearlRegal!!!!! I have been wanting and been thinking
About this for years, just didn't know how to go about it.

Kerno over on elcamino central has done similar on his g body elcamino

Looks trick! Question would be other then the improved handling how much better would it be compared to doing a swivel linked rear control arm with a 8.5 solid rear end? I would do the braces and reinforcements as well just wondering cuz there is a guy selling a C5 rear end.

Well 85GPLef41that's one of the most debated questions in forums like this about the live axle and independent axle and both sides have valid points but it all depends on what you as an individual is looking to get out of it. Now I'm not by any means an expert on suspension but I know what I am looking to have with my rear end suspension and that is, I want to be able to take on corned on the track and street without the camber in my left wheel changing the camber in my right. I personally like the thought of having a G-body with independent suspension because it's one of the things I think that hinderedour American cars from being able to handle very well around corners like the Euro cars did back in the day. Hell I found some folks that that are using the rear end out of a jaguar!!!!!! Look it up and it's some stuff on YouTube also.......
If I...... Well when I do try this I am gonna keep my 8.5 rear end and put it in another G-body Olds or Buick for my son because he wants me to get him a G-body for his very own.
