1970 chevelle conv. 400 small block, daily driver and not a jug budget.


Spc adjustable A arms, tall ball joints, stock spindles,c5 conversion brackets, c5 rotors and calipers, bill stein shocks and hotckis springs (1inch drop).



How's this sound fellas? And ladies too sorry.:hail:

Sounds good, the only thing I would consider is the aluminum spindles they make for your car that have the bigger bearing and the corvette brakes bolt on without needing conversion brackets. They also have speed sensors built in. I didn't find them that pricey and the price is offset because you don't need the brackets and at least in my case (camaro) the brakes were cheaper. I may be wrong but they may allready make the car 1" lower. I'm sure there are others that can comment better on it that have chevelle experience. :thumbsup:

Very good! I would also add the rear braces. They really stiffen up the rear frame of the car, allowing the suspension to do its job without the frame flexing as much. I used the ones made by Edelbrock and got them from Summit. Link (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-5211/)
