Installing speed engineering traction bars on a 2500hd Silverado, then going to the drag strip!
In this video I notch the frame, build "custom" spring packs with prothane bushings, lower the rear, modify Suspension Engineering traction bars to fit the 2500hd, and then go racing. Also experiment with flipping the carrier bearing for a better pinion angle and swap out the summit racing turbo mufflers for some Flowmaster Flow FX's.

If you have the smaller brake setup you can just run the tires on the stock 12" Geo wheels. The convertibles and 95+ metros have bigger front brakes and 13" wheels.

    Hi there, I watched your video a few times and I am impressed with how well your conversion came out. You seem pretty mechanically inclined so I thought I would take a shot to see if you could help me out with a question I have. This is about my 09 HHR SS. Can you tell me how to adjust the parking brake? I am about to put new rotors and pads on my car and am pretty sure the parking brake will need adjustment after the installation. My car already has rear disc brakes. I can picture the pb lever will go all the way up with all that new slack on the cable. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
