Hey guys, I've gotten to the point on my car to do the suspension. I was going to order a moser 12 bolt, but I've actually started to think about using my 8.5 10 bolt and adding a new tru track unit with new axles and c-clip eliminators. I am also looking at the ridetech coil over level 2 suspension. Is this a reasonable plan to achieve what I want? It will be mostly street driven, but want to do auto cross also. I'd like to take it down the strip also.
Also, if I go coilovers, does this setup lend itself to adding air ride later if I choose. Any pro's/cons with this setup?
Thanks for any help, it's always appreciated!

the corporate 10 bolt that GM developed in 1971 is very stout, it uses the same size pinion gear shaft as a 12 bolt and the ring gear is only a little smaller, 8.50 vs 8.875, I often tell people to do just what you're doing, the early 10 bolts (8.2) were terrible they snapped even with a 6cyl cars!! the 8.5 is king:BlahBlah:

yes that will work great for an all around system, I'm guessing this is for a Nova, the single adjust are a great shock
