Car looks great. Wrong tire size and wheel offset though. Running a stiffer spring may help, but probably not as much as you'd think. You'd have to get pretty stiff and you'd notice it everywhere....

If your ride height is altered at all, get the adjustable uppers. I battled this with my wife's old Chevelle. It had been lowered fairly significantly in the back and the previous builder sectioned...

The Global West pieces use a mix of spherical joints and del-a-lum or rubber bushings.

In a converging four link like that of the OP's 1986 GTO, the rear end must be able to articulate. Poly...

I think if it's just one leaf out of the pack, and especially one of the middle leafs, I'd certainly see if it can be salved. That may be the best case.

It is somewhat common. When I replaced...

Had some time this afternoon to play around with the car after doing some work on it late last weekend and this week.

FiTech will log, but only its own sensors. You can’t log anything external with it. So no way for me to log fuel pressure unfortunately.

Considering you had 12 years on this, I don't know that I'd necessarily say it was unreliable. I think in a street/strip modified hotrod playground like this, we have to have realistic expectations....

I've seen D154 pads with both a clip that fastens into the single piston as well as without. There are usually two tangs on the top that overhang the caliper body to center it.
