New Caprice - Discussion forums

That I can deal with. I was debating going back with stock and at this point it's going to be over $600, even from Rock Auto, for struts, shocks, and mounts alone, and still have all the 160k mile springs and other parts I have to swap over from the factory setup and still be riding "high water...

So nobody makes a coilover that does NOT require cutting the car? We are left with factory-only? Pedders require a small hole in the strut top. Not a hard thing or damaging to the body. Adjustments are done under the cat no body holes. You're saying strut which makes me think front, but most everyb...

Basically, Orlando, which would be 8+ hours from me. So the search continues...

Trim shops around here are so backed up they are months behind and charging astronomical prices when they are taking things. Closest 9C3 seat is near Atlanta (5+ hours). Closest cloth interior G8 that still has front and rear seats? No clue. Every salvage yard I have called only has leather cars or ...

How much of a PITA is it to make said 2015 seat fit in a 2012? I have a 9C3 but the seat bottom is all vinyl and not the OE cloth like it should be. Nobody anywhere near here has a G8 with cloth or a 9C3. Also can you narrow down "east central Florida"?

Side note (that I don't see listed in the ad)...are those Camaro 18" rims? If so, are they running adapters? Looking at those exact same rims and the offsets are making me wonder if they will be needed.
