Default G-Body Suspension Upgrade Discussion - TruTurn/TRZ R&P/etc

Getting ready to spend children's inheritance.

Front will be Ridetech TruTurn front control arms with their coil-overs. Maybe their MuscleBar sway bar but may make my own with splined bar and spherical bearings. Also looking at 10 x 18 CCW with 275-35-18 BFG Rivals. Thinking about TRZ (Flaming River) rack & pinion steering to lose some weight on front. Have massaged fender wells and tweeked e-brake cable on driver side for bigger tires. Currently running 245-40-18 on 8.5" Vette wheel (spacer)...tire rubs Hotchkis front sway bar.

Rear will have existing HRParts Insane control arms with spherical bearings, HRP rear drag bar (may change to Hellwig Pro-Tour bar, UMI Pro-Tour bar or may make my own as above). 11 or 12 x 18 CCW with 315-30-18 Rivals.

I have created an Excel file (converted to .PDF) on available chassis-mount rear sway bars. See below.

Comments, questions, remarks welcomed.
