Upgraded front suspension
Ditto, ditto & ditto on Marc S. He is very helpful. I go thru him to buy his stuff and others thru him just to get his Tech help. Yeh, not cheap, but then we all know about doing it cheap and doing it 2 or 3 times.
I went the B spindle route w 1LE brakes years ago, but the bumpsteer was finally getting to me and it might also be dangerous. Then I tried the tall lower BJ's and that helped the bump some, but then the tires started hitting the outside wheel lip on bumps and is tearing up the tires. One thing some guys don't know is that the B spindles also give U ~ a 3/4" wider front track, and that's why the tires are hitting the outer wheel well lip.
Another thing that guys don't know is that stock Lower A's "ream out" where the ball joint punches in. So stock OD BJ's usually won't fit tight on used A's. So, I had to have the Howe tall BJ's welded in. The Moog "problem solvers" take care of that automatically, but they don't tell U that.
So, I will eventually go his ATS spindle route, which is tall like the B, but isn't as wide and has a steering arm design that supposedly gets rid of Bump Steer. But then U have to go w the 13" rotors and 17" wheels, and the car goes down ~ 1". U can also go w their C5 Corvette package for ~ the same price, but it lowers the car 2½" and I don't want to go that low.
So, the whole package gets very expensive, so I'll continue to go in phases.
First I'll get the tubular lower A's w stock length BJ's, since my stockers are trash, and then I'll get his Stg 1 kit w the adjustable uppers and tall Upper BJ's. We'll see if that has Bumpsteer and hits the tires. I'm also thinking about Coilovers.
I also got Marc's wheel alignment kit, so I'm doing that myself now. Alotta tricks to learn there.
God this sh*t never ends ! This stuff isn't for quitters !
