Reduced Height Body Bushings

[Built6spdMCSS]

Has anyone used a set to have any feedback?

I get the concept, already thinking of what would be a clearance issue..

G-Body Solid Body Mount Bushings (Reduced Height)

I've heard of them, but didn't know anyone was selling them. Biggest issues would be bumpers, and possibly the transmission tunnel.

That's what I've been thinking since the Bumpers can't be adjusted up and down.

There are too many things on a car to move the frame to a new location. I'd skip reduced height but solid mounts is a great move towards reducing chassis flex.

These full frame cars are the last of it's kind for the simple reason, it is not a better way to build a car.
Dodges were unibody from at least the 60's. Some Fords, the GM adopted them in the 80's. Not every car built is a unibody.

Solid mount is a move the same direction.

I'm looking into the solid mount for sure, seems like the stock height will be the way to go, keeps everything in place. GM had the Fbody in 1967 as a unibody.

I think it around 2006-07 (i think) i swapped in stock height solids into my 84 olds. That was a huge improvement on how much firmer the car felt. Back then I broke the internet when I announced the swap on the boards. Street driven solid body mount gbody cars were going to break into pieces.... lol

GM first dabbled with unibodies in 1960 with the Corvair lineup. The Chevy II (1962-79) and F-cars (1967-81) were not true unibodies, with the detachable front structures at the cowl. F cars became true unitized construction for 1982

That is true, I forgot about the Corvair. Not a very popular car and it was a bit of a failure.
Camaro's and Nova's are only unibody in the rear.

As much as I like my G body GN. A full frame is not a better way to build a car and that is why GM gave up on them. I do hope that trucks will never give it up.
