G-Body ATS/Savitske suspension install.

[Buick Motorsports]

I am about to start tearing down the front end of my car to make way for the ATS/Savitske suspension package. Does anyone have any good progress or completed install pics?

Thanks.

i just picked up a 86 GN that we will be doing the entire suspension package for including the ATS spindles.
if you need and info let me know.

I did the SC&C UCAs and AFX spindles on my 87 GN that I sold a while ago. Made a huge difference. I can post some pics if I remember when I get home and dig them up. Let me know if you need any help.

yea Mark (Sc&C) and i have been talking and that was part of the reason for buying the GN was to be able to develop parts for them And the rest of the G bodies. we should have parts on the shelf by SEMA

I got Street-Comp AFX setup from Mark a few years ago and haven't install them yet on Olds, also SPC lower arms.

I would rellay like to see the pics. i will be documenting the process as well.

Just gathering as much information/reference as possible prior to starting. I am excited to get it done and on the road to experience the difference.

I'm definately interested in this. I've got a Malibu that needs a suspension overhaul. A nice street/track setup is what I'm looking for.

Duuuude! what are ya waiting for?!?!

I did the Street Comp AFX on my car and it was my first time doing anything with suspension. I'd say the process was pretty much common sense. Just go slow, unbolt a stock part, install the new part, and check all of your torque specs multiple times throughout the proces. I used a floor jack under the LCA and a bike lock wound through the spring and control arms to keep the spring from coming flying out at me.

i have a full SC&C suspension in my 79 bu.. (except the front lower controll arms are Global west)

SPC light weight front upper controll arms
Global west front lower conroll arms with Del alum bushings
ATS spindles
corvette C5 (touring classics) 13 inch front brakes
Global west springs
Varishocks double adjustable front shocks

Currietrac tubular rear controll arms
Global west springs
Varishocks single adjustable shocks
Fays 2 Watts link
Baer iron sport rear 12 inch discs
Moser 33 spline 12 bolt with torsen diff and big ford housing ends

8.5 & 9.5 x 18 forgeline wc3 with gunmetal centers adn steped lip

Fully boxed frame and solid aluminum frame/body bushings
quick ratio lee steering box and hydraboost

so save for a few parts its all SC&C.. and it pulls 1g in the corners, it will literally out turn a mercedes SL or porsche cayman in a roundabout...
