Denny,those numbers are for the G-5 package. Let`s remember here that there aren`t all that many modern cars with a RC migration of less than 1.5" at 1"dive/2* roll. Considering that the G chassis starts out with over 10" (!) I`m pretty proud of the overall improvement! The A-6 has less than 1" RC migration,how much less depends on tire height,wheel offset,ride height etc. etc. You know that I don`t have to tell ya. Honestly once you get under about 2"-3" IMO you`d have to be a pro driver on a racetrack to notice any more improvement. Even then there wouldn`t be any tangible performance gain. Camber gain is roughtly 1*/in. at a conservative ride height. More so if it`s lower and of course it`s a rising rate. RC height is around 3" or just under,again depending on all those pesky variables. When Keith`s car is together and I have ALL the data I`ll be able to tell you exactly what everything is for *that car*.

I should point out that neither G-5 or A-6 (they`re very similar and share many of the same components) are in any way scratch built one off setups. They`re well scienced out bolt on kits that require absolutely NO frame mods,welding etc. They`re no harder to install than the tired old B swap. The last G-5 conversion we did here took about 4 hours including bleeding the brakes and setting the alignment. I course I do them a bit more often than most folks. There are a number of these kits out there approaching 20,000 trouble free street/track miles too. Pricing? G-5 starts at $2695.90 with factory C-5 brakes,hub/bearing assys. etc. A-6 includes our modular LBJs and some other odds and ends that add a bit to the price. It`s not carved in stone yet but a complete package should be about $2875. We`ll also be offering both kits less brakes for those who want to get their own or you can substitute any Baer brake package that fits a C5. Marcus

Very good numbers Marcus, esepcially considering it's all bolt on and go!

Now, if you combine that combo with longer LCA's and run more backspace on the wheels to decrease the scrub radius more...

Just wondering, what configuration can you get those modular LBJ's in? My current GW LCA's are setup for F/B-body lowerballjoints to drop in with no machining required. Reason I'm asking is that I'm planning to upgrade my suspension (again) sometime this year and I'm in the preliminary planning stages... I'm currently leaning towards using custom +2" (or thereabouts) LCA's but I want to explore all options, and one of those options would be to keep my current GW lowers and live with the larger scrub radius. I'm hoping there's a modular balljoint available I can press right in.

Again, the combo looks great Marcus. One last thing, what's the ride height drop and track width change compared to stock A-body spindles? I want to know as a point of reference to compare to my current B-body spindles.

Now to get off my butt and go find another good frame to start building a 3-link on.

That looks really nice Keith. I can't wait to see it at SEMA.
