I picked up a set of the upper control arms from Mark at SC&C. I opted for the 'tall' upper ball joint to improve my roll center and caster/camber curves. They are fantastic to say the least and much, much better than the Global West or Detroit Speed parts.

It's not easy being a 'dinosaur' and staying with the 15" wheels, but I like the look....Robert
Thanks for the compliments. There is nothing wrong with running 15s, but the tire selection is just so limited.

Here are the Falkens compared to the Nitto 555s. The Nitto 295/45 is about an inch bigger in diameter than the 295/40 Falken. This will translate to about a 1/2" drop in ride height, which is no big deal.




The more interesting part is that the Falkens have just over an inch more actual tread width! The advertised section width on the Falkens are stated to be about .4" wider than the Nittos. I can't wait to see how these tires work.




Andrew

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
