05 GTO Suspension Mods - Lateral-g Forums

LS1MonteSS · #1 07-18-2012, 11:58 PM

Hello to all the corner carvers..

So I have a 05 GTO. I have been looking for information pertaining to any suspension mods/swaps that anyone might have done.

Though it was not a 05 GTO. The closest thing I found to my ideas for the IRS for my GTO was the Doug Sinjem's 66 Nova. But I can't find any build info.

If any one has info on that I'm all eyes & ears.

Thx,
Kevin

Kevin, we at Ridetech will be introducing a new line of coil-over and air spring struts at this years SEMA.
I have been working on the 5th Gen Camaro as well as the 05+ Mustang, but more strut cars are in the plans.

Keep an eye on our website as we'll be introducing them as soon as they are ready:

Here are a couple of links to images of our new Fox Racing Shox based strut program. The unit consists of a steel body monotube strut cartridge and an extruded aluminum mount that is specific to each application.
Though the brake and abs brackets on these prototypes are painted steel they will be stainless on the production units.

The proto's are non adjustable, but production will be offered in non-adjustable, single adjustable (rebound) and triple adjustable (rebound, high speed compression, low speed compression).

I would actually like to replace all of it.
I have read mixed comments about pedders. There are a few limitation issues with some of the components and I have only seen one guy address, but his thread died.
Another guy had started a C5 IRS / GTO suspension swap but that died as well.

I guess this is going to be one of those things that no one wants to mess with.
