Sup. My friends and I just purchased a 1997 Caddy Seville SLS for us in the 24 hours of Lemons

Been doing some research on how to firm up this boat's ride, and I think i am in a rabbit hole.

Does anyone have experience with suspension parts on GM K-bodies, H-bodies, and W-bodies?

I really want to know what I will be able to swap out of a Monte Carlo SS, Buick Lucerne CXS, (fwd)Impala SS/LTZ, or Grand Prix GXP/GTP if I'm able to pull parts in a junk yard.

I'm thinking sway bars are probably safe to swap out. I'm sure struts and springs are a different story.

Should be fun!

It's a 97 Seville and we're all Houston people

We haven't picked a theme, but I'm sure you can guess where it's headed

I would paint the entire outside of the wheel and tire with chrome spray paint, for starters.

Also set the team up with the full catalog from H-Tine Clothing Line. Maybe some Tiddies for cruising around the paddock whilst sipping your drink?

Is there a pre-engineered cage for the car or is it a build your own deal??

I would love to do this someday.

Head studs and sway bars are the top two mods

This thread made me really miss the old school Houston board. Never change, htine

LeMons has general specs for the cage, but it doesn't have to be "professional". They will inspect it though

Does the cost of giving each team member a grill count towards the $500 total cost?

Swangas are nice and all, but since you're not going with the Colin Chapman approach, exactly, ever consider trying to maximize unsprung weight, just to be contrarian?
