Hello everyone, I have a bone stock 74 Chevy Nova that I bought in High School 6 years ago and daily for a couple years but now it's been sitting for the last 3-4 years because I sold the engine/trans during somewhat difficult times. But anyways now that I am currently working a steady 11hrs a day Monday-Friday, I am now saving money on the side for the next 6+ months to start buying suspension parts. My main goal is to be able to daily it, autocross, and have some fun in the canyons once in a while. Budget wise I would like to stay below 15k, maybe a little more but not to much, for everything on the bottom, chassis, brakes, rear suspension, a new rear end, and if possible be able to fit at least 18x9 275/35/18 on all 4 corners.

So my first choice of suspension was TCI (Total Cost Involved) stage 2 setup, which includes everything chassis, rear torque arm, 4 piston wilwoods front and rear, a currie 9" with tru trac posi, and more. It seems like a nice deal, but then I started to look at RideTech suspension, speedtech, art morrison, Chris Alston's Chassisworks and the many other companies out there. There is a lot of choices to choose from now.

Anyone got any kind of advice to share, to point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

For what you're looking to do, I think that our level 2 coilover suspension package would be a perfect setup for you. It comes with everything you need to bolt on and go. The ride quality and handling make it feel like two completely different cars... and it's all bolt on parts :D.
