G-Body Coilover Install: Ultimate Handling Upgrade

UMI G-Body Build Series: Season 2, Episode 2 - 1978-1988 GM G-Body Suspension Upgrade! LS Swap Prep!
Level up your classic muscle car! In this episode of the UMI Performance G-Body Build Series, Ramey, Dave, and Dustin tackle a major suspension upgrade on their '78-'88 GM G-Body Cutlass, prepping for the upcoming LS engine swap! We're installing a race-ready coilover system to dramatically improve handling, lower the ride height, and support the added weight of the new powerplant.

This detailed video shows the complete installation of high-performance UMI parts, including:

1978-1988 GM G-Body Rear Coilover Kit, Bolt In, 2”-3” Lowering

This bolt-in kit features adjustable ride height, spring rate (110lb & 150lb options), and 19-way adjustable Viking shocks for a perfectly tuned ride. Includes a direct bolt-in upper mount reinforcement and FEA-designed lower bracket.

Lower A-Arms, Polyurethane Bushings

Made from high-quality USA DOM tubing with CNC-notched ends for a perfect fit, these A-arms offer superior strength and improved ball joint geometry for lowered vehicles.

1978-1988 GM G-Body Sway Bar, Rear, Solid, 1

This 1" solid sway bar dramatically reduces body roll and understeer, improving cornering and launch stability.
