1992 Firebird Chassis Question->->->

In the literature I got from PHS, it included a 150 or so page booklet that was a copy of what Pontiac printed that included every single specification there was on the 1992 Firebird including all available models, engine options and combo's and all specs for everything plus all the changes that had been made from the 1991 model year. One point that stuck out was that it mentioned the chassis for 1992 had been changed to make the car more strudy and to reduce flex in the body and what not.

It did not specify what exactly had been done. Does andybody know??? I'm thinking about getting SFC's but it looks like they might not be neccessary.....I would also like to know just for my personal satisfaction. Just curious

Thanks.

Supposidly, they used a better body sealer for 91 3rd gen's, and the 92's got even better. The 3rd gen chassis id very flexible, just drive the front left tire onto a sloped driveway and get out. You can achually see the flex. You shoulds get SFC's
