    I'd be down, but what I really need is customer bult control arms that move the ball joint mount up. You rig those up and they'll sell. Anyone who's lowered needs them to correct suspension geometry.
    I may own a GTO now, but I'm still a 60V6er at heart.

      hmm that explains the tire wear then. all this time i thought it was the 400 lb springs and the triple digit curve speeds . pm me your research and and what exactly needs to be done and i will see what i can come up with. as my gtp is pretty much slammed too.

      p.s. i take it there are no poly control arm bushings out there?

        I have poly bushings. But I would NEVER use them again. They are the noisiest junk I have ever used. I would only use them again if they were greasable.

        As for moving the ball joint up. That may be easier than you think. Check out Howe Racing http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/4791...ll-Joints.html They make increased height joints and may be able to help you. The other way to do it is to make a plate to fit under the joint and raise the whole thing up.

              Well I looked at their list, they don't seem to make anything that would work on a Gen 1 suspension, unless you were implying they could make a custom ball joint?

                what about graphite impregnated poly?

                btw, the speedwaymotors warehouse is in my hometown....10 minutes from me.

                I know a guy who is a graphics designer there.

                        poly front control arm bushing is what i need. if you feel the need, get a set from an auto parts store and i'll re-imburse you.

                          I have an S-10. Not quite the same. But check out energy suspension. My buddy got Energy Suspension bushings from them for his Cavalier.
