    Hey guys and gals,
    I posted about this a while ago but I'm the one with the crestline that has the gm g-body frame. I've been checking I think a crown vic frame will fit in the front. What are the advantages of the vic vs the g-body. I plan to lower it, what would be better for that purpose. The vic has a rack car so advantage there. Biggest question will the vic fit as well?

    I'm just looking into options, I would prefer a vic that has rack and pinion. The g body subframe thats in it needs redone, bad fabrication on the previous owners part. What would your suggestion be? I'm open to anything. Thanks

    You might look into using a front clip from a 1989-96 T-Bird it may be a better fit.Also a lot of aftermarket brake upgrades are available for them for cheap $$$.
