I've been googling a lot about G Body camber solutions and it brought me here. Lots of smart folks here, it seems. I have a Malibu drag car that I'm doing some upgrades on and would rather read other's information vs reinventing the wheel (or front suspension fixes).

I want to get some travel in the front suspension. I'd like to put some Landrum 200# springs on it, a pair of double adjustable shocks, some .5" lower BJs and 1" uppers... I'd like to get the front end very low and have full upward travel of the suspension for weight transfer. Trying to do all that and get my camber and bump-steer under control.
Easy, right?

Hopefully Mac posts - he's quite proficient with that you're trying to do.

I think my google search turned me on to his posts and that's how I got here... Mac=Macguyver? I sent him a private message last night.

Are you looking to replace the control arms? If not, remove the bumper under the upper for more droop. Then, remove all the shims from the front bolt of the cross shaft, and get as many on the rear as possible and align. I got about 3.5⁰ caster and -0.5⁰ camber with Blazer 2" drop spindles. I used a Moog 5662 spring which is 650 lbs/in, I think. However, it's my daily and I like corners.
