What, are you bored with the nova? Call moser for a bolt in 12 bolt, duh. Is this what happens when you have spare parts laying around to long? Ha Ha. BMR anti roll bar kit is a must. check it out.

8.5 10 bolt is a better deal if you want to go fast.

Whether you run the 8.5 or the aftermarket 12 bolt, HRpartsNstuff in Atwater, Ohio has all the suspension parts you need. Call Paul Ferry at 330-947-2433 and he will help you.
We just switched to his entire rear suspension including the anti-roll bar and picked up .06-.07 in 60 ft times over another aftermarket set-up. This is with an 11 second IHRA Stock GT Regal (G-Body) just like yours.
11.78 at over 112 mph and consistent 1.56 to 1.57 60 foot times right out of the box.
Feel free to call me also at 231-740-5534 Cell phone. I am a Moser and HRparts dealer. Fred Lee c/o E.T.Enterprises

Southside Machine...now Mr Gasket...made some good lower bars. They move the mounting point on the rear end down. Stock boxed uppers will work with alignment correction bushings but if you plan on building a upper mounted sway bar it will hit the stock uppers. I had to build a set of tubular uppers to clear mine. I went online and had a look at what companies were selling and built it stronger. I seen some lightweight sway bars break and bend. These cars want to leave on the door handle every pass with any kind of power. Mine is built strong enough that i can put a floor jack under the passender side frame and the car will come up dead even...its got a flat tire as we speak and the rear is dead straight in the car. Stock rear springs...not the progressive springs that you see under some g-bodys...with equal windings all the way up is what you are looking for. I tried the moroso trick springs in the rear but it lowered the car and screwed up all the bar geometry that the Southside bars have built in already. If you plan on not using the sway bar jam a bag in the passenger side spring. Lakewood 50/50's. And for the rear end...good juck finding a 8.5 ten unless you already have one....a 12 bolt bolt in piece is way more affordable. Ive seen the Buick GN 10 bolts for sale...stock...for $1000. Really all your gonna use is the housing...a bare 12 bolt to bolt in is around 600 bucks. And parts at the track when you in a jam wont be hard to find because most GM racers...stock and superstock...use 12 bolts. Hope this helps.
