It's like drag racers who think they are road racers? I've never heard of these guys before, but I don't think we are missing anything. I'm almost ashamed to post the link here (even just to poke fun at it) since they will get free exposure that way (and I don't think anyone should order this stuff after seeing it and reading what they think it will do). Oh well, lets live a little.

Don't forget that poly bushings in LCA's (of whatever kind they are) are the basis for a performance handling suspension. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)

SKU: GFFBCC

This is the ultimate system for your F-Body vehicle. The coil-overs and suspension upgrades combine to give you the highest ride quality available. You get the smooth ride and better torque transfer to the tires from the double ladder bar conversion. As well as the better handling and less body roll from the coil-overs with complete control over the damping ratio. There is one dial with 12 settings that varies both the compression and the rebound simultaneously. The system also comes with a choice at spring rating (Front: 275, 300, or 325 Rear: 200, 250, or 300). All brackets and control arms come powder coated black. (Other colors are available but may cost extra)
System Benefits:
Lets you choose your ride height
Matches ride performance to driving conditions
Decreases body roll
Increases handling
Limited lifetime warranty
Revaulvable, rebuildable coil-over shocks
Smoother ride
Better acceleration
Adjustment to correct pinion angle
Less road noise/vibration


System Includes:
Four true coil-over adjustable shocks, four rear coil-over mounting brackets made from 1/4” thick laser cut steel, Two lower control arms made from 1.50” diameter thick walled tubing (1/4" wall) with oversized bushings pressed into the ends, two double adjustable upper control arms made from 1.25” diameter thick walled tubing (1/4" wall), four upper control arm mounting brackets made from 1/4” thick laser cut steel, one double adjustable rear trackbar made from 1.25” diameter thick walled tubing (1/4" wall), all necessary hardware, and detailed instructions.

* System requires welding of the new upper control arm mounting brackets to the axle.

* System requires holes to be drilled for mounting brackets in the wheel well and the axle mounting bracket.

* System may require minor trimming of the wheel well for clearance for the upper control arm mounting brackets.

So, uh, looking closely at the photo, what wheel combination do you suppose they're running.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Oh, and I would have to think http://www.gforce.com/ , the safety gear maker, would have a real issue with the name.

Those spring rates sound like they belong to a lightweight mid or rear engine vehicle. Something like a Toyota MR2 or maybe a Porsche. 300lb/in rear springs?

My hunch is that it's based on the QA1 (or similar) drag shocks and their spring rates. I think one of them recently came out with a "road race" coilover setup that was 300 in lb for the front (for road racing?). If the manufacturer say it, it must be correct....right?

I like how it turns the axle into a swing arm. That has to be the best ride possible!

I like the fact that it goes blank when you hit the "Tech" link.

Kevin those front springs are 8lbs stiffer than my stock ones (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)
