suspension

Post by B_Pay »

I was surprised at how stiff the suspension is... not sure if thats cause it has heavy duty suspension or if it is do for shocks with a 100k miles on it. Anyone know how the spring rates compare to g8 and ss?

I've documented it in a couple of places, but will need to dig a bit to get it all in (one) place.

PPV spring rates are higher--and wire diameter is larger.

I plan to use SS springs F & R

Bill, Brian,
I have ordered the Chevy SS front (GM 92290030) and the rear (GM 92290028) springs. As soon as I can schedule the install I will let you guys know. And, Bill I will take measurements, per your instructions, before and after.

Maurice,
