Hey all. New here, but I recognize some names from the thirdgen world.
Fellow I know is interested in a few rims I have. Another guy where I used to live put him '98 SS into the woods, and I got three of his 17*9.5 rims and a new 285 tire when he upgraded. One of those deals that you can't pass up. Anyway, after sitting in the shed for a couple seasons (been in college, car is sleeping) he's offering a trade. First option is a set of Koni Yellows, slightly used, single adjustable. Second option is a 9-bolt 3.23 posi disc rear, complete. (currently have 10-bolt 2.73 drum peg-leg) I'm running a 1986 Z28 with some beginner mods to get me into ESP. Would I be best suited getting the shocks, rear, or ponying up some cash for another rim and some tires? Mods as of now: 1.5" Jamex drop springs, Delco HD shocks/struts, SSM subframe connectors, wonderbar, 3point strut brace, 383/A4 (plans for manual swap), curently running 16*8 GM crosslace wheels. Opinions? |

What is the draw to the 4thgen rear? it is the same rear-end as the 3rdgen 10bolt, only diffrence is the width, and the brakes. Again, my opinion on this, is I would rather spend the money it costs for a 4thgen rear, or a 9bolt, and put that money towards a brake upgrade. If you have a drum rear, swaping the LS1 rear brakes is actualy a very is swap. The backing plates for the 3rdgen drums, are almost identical to the LS1 cars. I would take the Koni's (Assuming it is all 4 corners). Then save a couple of hundred bucks, and watch ebay, I picked up a brand new Eaton Posi for my car, cost: $100.
