All about "stance and looks?" Ever driven an original car, or worse one with poly bushings with taller wheels with no sidewall... over any bumps?
The stock suspension is SOOOO Slow, the car is on the next bump as the tire is just coming down from the last.. Result.. 1 ton truck ride...
GM Never put bigger wheels on these cars until they installed a much faster Strut system.
One way around this is to put on Global West Del A Lum Bearings in the control arms so they move freely, and use a good gas charged shock, OR
put Qa-1 adjustables in your converted ( to Global west bearings) control arms.
stiff suspension beats up the car and my back....
