Looks great except I would recommend adding an export brace and a monte carlo bar, these 2 items will do alot to improve the overall driveability of the car with that nice new drivetrain.

i have the monte carlo bar and export brace...have not yet installed them...im rebuilding the whole front end as soon as this is done with one inch drop springs and two inch drop spindles with disc conversion...and the currie rear end needs to go in yet as well...a lot of work from the I6

Be careful with front tire rub...dropping 3 inches seems like a lot.

Oh, and make sure you install the montecarlo bar while the suspension is unloaded... It'll just about drop in if you jack the car up by the center brace running under the engine while the springs are removed. (don't forget jack stands for safety!)

i KNOW THREE INCHES IS A LOT BUT I REALLY WANT TO TRY FOR THE TUCKED TIRE LOOK IN THE FRONT AND PUT THE REAR RIGHT ON THE TIRE, IT MAY BE SOME TRIAL END ERROR BUT WILL BE WORTH IT IT THE END

THANK YOU FOR THE TIP ON THE EXPORT BRACE, MAKES GOOD SENSE

IF I WERE TO DO THE GRANADA SWAP DOES SOMEONE MAKE A DROP SPINDLE FOR THE GRANADA?
