I don't know about 90 struts...but 89 struts were different than 95. As far as I know the whole front clip is different, because of the 95'* beefed up sport suspension/roaters/ and abs etc....
this is why the wheels off my 89 wouldn't even turn on my '95. :/

speedyguy: How do you plan on offering lowering capabilities for those of us who have the adjustable air suspension in the rear. I have spoke with a custom suspension company and they said the only way to do that is to either downgrade, or install a custom air suspension all around. It sounds hella-cool, but its $2K-$3K. Granted, it'll let me drop my car til it hits the ground, or the tires hit the wheelwells.

I also think it would be a good idea for bonnevilleclub.com to offer a store inside the forum. It won't sell anything, but it will offer a complete list of parts and modifications available and then direct the buyer to the maker.


Speedyguy: I am interested in the bumper mods, drop me a line at michae32@msu.edu and tell me more info. I think I could go in with you on that.

To lower a GP is 1200.00-1700.00 and that’* the parts. I think I can do it alot cheaper, but we will see.

What about rear disk brake conversion? Is there a kit out there? I can either get one at a good price or have one made. Interested?

I can do almost any spring strut combo, but the cost will change respectively. As for rear disk brakes I have not looked into it but I figured since I was looking I could see what I can do. So far the rear brake situation is an idea not a reality. I am sure I can get larger front disks for the H body, but I want to make sure we get excellent quality, at a good price. Brakes are a very serious business and I don’t want to provide anything that’* suspect. I am also looking into having a steering Knuckle made so that the suspension can be as close to stock tolerances as possible. Anything I get made for the H body (Bonneville) will be more expensive due to the small #'* purchasing the product. But I will have things made so that the do it yourselfer can save as much money as possible. If I can turn up a big market I can reduce cost but right now it’* going to have to be one small step at a time. By next week I should have the costs on the springs and struts but it is out of my hands right now. Once I have the costs I can start taking orders.
