The GNX setup was a neat idea that was pretty poorly executed. The TA is really short and the panhard bar is angled at ride height. A lot of geometry compromises had to be made for the sake of packaging. I think you`ll find that all of the really fast guys running G bodys are either running the stock rear suspension format with new arms or they`ve backhalved the car and installed an adj. race 4 link. A lot depends on how much drag racing vs. how much corner carving you plan to do. Mark SC&C
