Ok my Suspension is all stock. Over the winter I'm going to replace the stock 20 year shocks with Bilstein's and new nos4gn variable springs(rear) and the front springs/end link bushing(front )from nos4gn, Also maybe the front under frame braces from kirbans. For the rear I was thinking about UMI non-adjustable boxed Upper/lower control arms, The ones that look stock and match GM spec holes for the stock sway bar. Any thoughs if this will be I good setup for my GN to hook alittle better traction for street. Besides tires and air bags(I don't like the red bags)/larger sway bars.Its's not a test car.

For your rear control arms/bushings I would check out HRpartsNstuff. They have nice control arms that will fit stock swaybar and you could order the 1/4in longer lowers to help with traction and wont hurt daily driving.
 
The car I am racing now uses this kit and the HR Anti-roll Bar
Part # 0940 = $289 = Package deal with Performance Series UPPERS + LOWERS (’78-'87 G-Body)
Shocks are KYB or Bilstien…I forget. Drag raced and can change lanes on the freeway without worries.

having a good tire with sidewall on these cars is very important for that traction on the street don't forget the pinion angle.the hr bar is a great product and inmo if your going to buy uppers and lower I prefer the ability to adjust.

The H&R's upper/lowers won't change the height on the rear will it..

In the H&r website, I think the price changed for suspension packages uppers/lowers are $479 stock length. Gbodyparts.com Umi upper/lowers are $350.Also on Gbodyparts.com they have a set of Entry series h&r upper's/lowers upgrading from stock for $283(level 1).

The best thing to do is call Paul @ HRpartsNstuff talk to him about what your wanting to do and he may have some Holiday specials going on.
