JCG Restoration & Customs Project Blu Balz

19x12 on 345-30-19 on the rear & 18x10.5 on 285-35-18.. The car has spent plenty of time on the scales.. People still can't believe that we run 850 lbs springs on the front & 600 lbs on the rear...

Car is going thru one last change.. 19x11 on 305-30-19 on the front.. I test drove the car today on the street today.. Car drives great but have some modifications to do to get full turning from lock to lock.. We will be testing on the Auto-X on Friday when Mike Musso from Big Muscle Drive will be taking it for a spin plus doing a feature story on Blu...

Wow! That is a lot of spring. What is the weight of the car? Must be a pretty stiff ride.

[Cris@JCG]

Car rides pretty smooth.. Changes direction pretty quick.. Comfortable @ 120 mph

3550 Ibs

4.11 gears in the rear makes the car hit the rev limter pretty darn quick!

What size sway bar did you settle on?

[Cris@JCG]

On the front went from 1/4 wall to .90 wall & the rear from 1-1/4 to 1-1/8..
Plus were slotted for quick adjustments..

Famous last words, LOL. Chris, you should know better than most.....they are never done,

Can't wait to see that video!

Those spring rates don't seem completely crazy to me - it's all about the damping.

I was on Hardcore Chevy & found this great action shot of Karl driving on the road coarse @ RTTC!
