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? |

I think I would have gone for the struts. I like 9 bolts because the bearings are pressed on the axles so you don't need any c-clips, but outside of that I wouldn't buy another. Ive got 2 extras sitting here if you really want one. They have the crappy cast iron caliper disk brakes. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The only reason why I'm not looking for a 10 bolt is because I just found backing plates for the PBR calipers. If I stumble across a 10 bolt with PBR plates then I'll grab it and toss a T2R in it with some gears if needed.
To run those 17" rims you will need a set of adapters anyway, and they get pretty pricey!! |
