I'd like more info on the saturn parts. Was that to keep the bolt pattern the same or?

So cheaper wheels are better than the extra strength to hold the wheels on your car?

I always thought a Saturn IRS was another option, but thought the track might be better suited for the J, since Saturn has a 56.0in while the N-body has 59.1in. BTW the J carries a 56.4in. Yes, N-body is wider and can be better, but how does it look aesthetically, compared to the front?
Oh well...pics!

^^^ like a perfect match?? thats how it looks.

a j-body is narrower in the rear then the front, or at least it looks that way. and it looks retarded.

QFT! I hate how they narrowed up the rear like that. Doesn't help the handling either, it took a lot of offset to get mine back inline.

This I really would like to see, as the spindles are very different in geometry than the J-body or N-body spindles, not the least of which is the distance between strut mounting holes.

Also, how did you deal with the ball joints?







Re: Very happy with my I.R.S.

i will get pics of the front and rear tomorrow ive been trying to get some other things done. sorry

i used the cobalt struts,spindles,hubs,rotors,cailipers,and the tabs that mount balljoint including the ball joint.
the ball joint fits in between like the stock one and one bolt lines up and i put the tabs on both sides of the control arm and welded it and bolted it all together as if was a cobalt i will get the pics tomorrow because i already have the wheels and tires offf so easy access.
the hubs seem to be heavyer duty also than the jbody hubs i was goin through atleast one exvery two weeks before so i will see and let yall know

I WILL HAVE THE PICS TOMORROW
