Uhhhhhhhh. You serious? Completely different platforms separated by 30 years. Nothing chassis or suspension wise will fit on a thirdgen. Unless you are in to EXTREME fabrication. In which case, it would probably be easier to build a new suspension from scratch.

I own a g8 gxp...no, those parts will NOT fit a 3rd gen. Also the g8 platform is the same as 2010 and up camaro. Nothing corvette about the gxp except the LS3.

Re: Pontiac G8 GXP suspension fit a 86 firebird ?

Sure a lot of welding and completely rebuild a thirdgen and allot of time , technically it wouldn't be a stock thirdgen lol

Anything possible if your willing to commit to it
