Is anybody familiar with Guldstrand Motorsports. Have anyone ever used them before?

Thanks.

Oscar.

I am familiar with them, but I haven't purchased anything from them. These guys have been around since new 3rd gens we're available at dealerships back in the day. I have spoke with a gentleman over there on two occasions who was very helpful though. I forget his name, but if you call over there and want to talk to someone about 3rd gens, they'll probably direct you to him. They're suspension is more based towards hugging curves, but I believe they have a few different coil spring setups depending on what you wanna do with your car. Drag, auto-x, etc

They did the suspension on my Cousins 69 vette. It turned 90 degree corners at 60 like a flat bottom boat.

I've been to their facility in Burbank, but it's been about 3 or 4 years ago. They're very nice people. They showed me around, and I got to see some of the things they do. Most of their work tends to be on Corvettes.

For thirdgens, I think they only handle graphite polyurethane bushings and a few suspension components, like Panhard Rods. IIRC, they said they were the originators of the tubular version. In their earliest testing of thirdgens, they found the stock Panhard Rod to be the weakest part of the suspension with regards to handling, so they created the tubular version.

And I don't know if they still do this, but in the past, in the springtime, they sponsored a day-long event at Willow Springs International Raceway up here in the Antelope Valley, where you could run your own cars.

Lon from TDS would be a good person to talk to about them. I think he knows them well.

Yea they do great work. I've talked to Bob, if memory serves me well, over there and he will spend the time with you on the phone about your particular setup. Though **** is known as the Corvette guy he also raced a third gen camaro. If you have the catalog, theres a picture of it in there. Anyhow I would highly recommend them for any suspension work you need done to your car.

LAfireboyd,
Yes I distinctly remember him talking about how the panhard was the weakest link and that they offer the tubular version to help prevent body roll.

Yes. I was there last week. I drop in there a few times a year to pick up front and rear sway bar bushings.

So I stopped by and paid a visit. Lot's of vettes in the House. It looks as though they are probably really, really, good also at working on TPI since vettes also came with TPI and they built them to race. I'm hoping to some some good estimates from them and doing a bunch of stuff for me but we'll see where they land. The owner was there also, **** Guldstrand, working on an older vette. Apparently he also modded third gen Camaros and raced them as well. On the surface it looks as though I might be in good hands.

Oscar

Thanks Lon. Are they as good as they look at working on TPI? Any thing I should watch out for?

By the way, thanks for the steering brace, only took 10 mins to install. geeze, for a 10 min install, you can really feel an immediate differance, reminds me of the feeling when I got my SFC's installed.

I dont think any of us have used their services much as they're more Corvette people, not f-body people.

In the numerous times I've been there I've only seen one thirdgen Camaro on the rack. It was for a Richmond 5 speed conversion.
