So being that this is my first GTO, and I probably sound like a newbie (which I am when it comes to the GTO) I have been doing allot of reading and information gathering. My first concern has to do with the independent rear suspension. I have seen both bad and good reviews and opinions on it. What makes it so horrible from the factory? Is it the set up, configuration or just a few minor tweaks and the problem is fixed? I know that this subject has probably been brought up before but I am looking for specifics on this subject. What kind of suspension configuration would be ideal for the GTO? What brand?

Thanks for your input!!!

Don't feel bad . I HAVE HAD MINE FOR THREE YEARS AND DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

Also, if you dont get a response keep asking the question. Peddlers seems to be the equipment of choice. What needs to be done ????

Hey Shawn..... you don't describe what issues you are having with your rear suspension, and what tweaks you are seeking to improve what? I don't think it's horrible from the factory. Independent suspension will give you a much smoother ride than the beam one will. With a beamed suspension movement on one side will affect the other.

With the I.R.S. my car runs smooth and handles great, I wouldn't want it any other way. The Beam will not offer that.
