Well, first of all you need to lose the F-body mentality - the G-body doesn't have a "subframe", it has a full frame. :lol:
Seriously, there are a large number of vendors selling G-body suspension upgrades. Hotchkis and Global West are probably the two leading vendors. If you want to keep the 307, Mondello and Dick Miller are the two leading Olds performance vendors. On the other hand, an Olds 455 is nearly a bolt-in.
I really like SC&C.com from PA. They have good prices and have the good F41 aftermarket piece. It is really thick and one piece. people say it keeps the steering from pushing on just one fram rail and it helps steering and stops most squeaks. That is pretty much the only bad part of the whole chassis, the front.
Yea, I wasnt sure about the subframe or not.. I have yet get the car to my house, and I work away from home, and im just trying to get some parts ordered so that when i get home they are there waiting for me. Suspension upgrades that is.. As for the 307.. it dont have one, the car came with the built 455 already in it, and a spare 455 long block .. I only saw the car from the side and bought it.. I just love the body style more than anything. I googled SC&C.com.. but it only found brewcitymuscle or something. Is there a full weblink to this site? Thanks.
