Part 2 of a walk through of my low budget 8 second GBody 5.3 LS Build... the suspension

Ойын-сауық

This is part 2 of a series of videos where I show off my budget friendly gbody Regal build. This car is built by me in my garage and tuned by me. Lots of used and hand me down parts. Future video ideas might include going over the interior, roll cage, some of the problems I encountered and tune. Open to any ideas. Check out Part 1 when I went through under the hood.

    To be honest, I had it on the dyno when I first got it together just to shake it down but it was in really low boost and didn't make much. If you do the times and weight, it's like 950 hp or so

    Nice G Body Sir....My first car was a 86 with a 307. Since then I've owned several G bodys. Someday I will build my dream Regal. I always wanted to manual swap one with a M22 or Tremec 6speed. I'm on board love the content...

    For the rear? They are from trick chassis. They have all that on their website. The coil over springs are summit racing brand. They are about $50 each. I switch between three different sizes. Usually I use 12" 110lb springs in the rear and have them compressed about 6-7". The stored energy aids in seperation

  • @XXXXKOSXXXX
    @XXXXKOSXXXX7 ай бұрын

    Are the 110 lbs springs in the back stiff enough? That seems a little light for the weight of the car. I'm building a street car where I will have people in the back sometimes and once in a while hit the track. What would you recomend for that situation? I could have up to 3 people in the back sometimes for street use.

    I have three different springs I run. I use the 110# 12" when I am not running weight in the trunk. They are compressed to about 5", giving me 7" of stored energy to help with seperation. For normal street driving, I use either 130# 12" or 150# 10" springs. The 110# ones aren't the best for comfortable street driving.

    QA1 tech support recommended 200 lbs springs for the rear. I will be lowering the car around 3". what you think?@@fastvsix

    Depends what the use is for. For drag racing that might be stiff. For regular driving or autocross that might be good. Also depends on how tall the springs you are using. When I have mine setup for the track, there is only 1" of suspension travel downwards. I set it up so the rear of the car raises up (seperates) 3"

    @@95poo40sx I dont get caught up anymore in plotting them. Usually it'll only seperate until the top bar is level. So, if you have the rearend on the ground, you can jack up the body until the top bar is flat, that'll will usually be your max seperation. If the the top bar is already flat at ride height, you are really going to struggle to get any seperation
