I'd like to go through the suspension on the car before dropping the motor back in, but my motor went over budget and funds are getting short. I want the car to sit a little lower and have a stiffer suspension. I don't mind if the ride gets a little harsh either. Help me plan my new setup.
I already boxed the stock rear control arms and installed HR poly bushings.
Here is what I'm thinking:
Moog 5658 or 5660's up front. I will have to cut the 5660's a little to get the height I want.
What springs can I get for the rear? Are there F body springs out there that are stiffer than our stock ones? That way I could trim them a tiny bit.
I will be replacing ALL the body bushings. Would I regret poly? If so, what bushings should I get?
Front control arm bushings - Poly or not? Are there greasable ones out there?
Ball joints - Would I go with taller upper and lower? Just taller upper? Are there any that fit the stock spindles?
Sway bars - Any junk yard ones that are an upgrade?
Brakes - LS1 or S10?? I will be putting on GTA wheels.
Front control arms - Can I just box the lowers - uppers?
Bracing - I already have the rear seat brace and the Kirban front frame brace. I guess I just need the front fender braces of a Grand Prix?
Anything else?
Thanks.
