I have seen in a few posts that people have been using the rear adjustable arms off of a W-Body GM (Grand Prix, Monte Carlo ext.) to replace the factory non adjustable arms. I was wondering, if this is the case, would a person be able to use the BMR Fabrication rear suspension parts for the W-Body for our cars? I know they will be a bit more spendy but I believe if they can be used there is some handling to be gained IMO.

HERE is a link to the BMR parts.

I would think they should work but I'm not sure.

Yes they can be used you just need to ask for 12mm? bushings rather than 14mm. I am not 100% sure on the sizes though.

Or for only $400, you could get our Original Aluminum Control arms.

I had looked at those but was not sure on the adjustability.

How adjustable are they?

I would also like to be able to move out the rear wheels to fill out the rear wheel well a bit. Paul Nimz had mentioned this ability with the GM arms in his write up on V8SHO. The fact that the wheels sit in so far on the back bothers me. I would like to be able to improve this along with improve handling a bit.

(on a side note, I have to hit you up via PM on the X-Cal group buy. I'm intrested)
