this is my drag pose. i am looking to switch dated brake system and then purchase correct rim tire combo for her and will more than likely do a front end suspension makeover,
the front has a combination of upper tube a arms
hotchkiss and stock lower a arms,hotchkiss coils ,78 sedan deville cadillac spindles calipers and rotors ,addco sway bar.mighty heavy,but this was done in 93 in garage at home.
this one of reasons i joined site to get ideas on suspension upgrades i have second set of road rims but are period 60 and 50 series tires
willing to take hints on upgrade as this set up is 13 years old
i will have more pictures but weather not letting me pull front clip off car

well i think its awesome... i called up ATS and asked them to hook me up with a full suspension.. My BU has to pass DOT inspection so SC&C was out of the question as the adjustable uppers would have failed inspection instantly..
the AFX suspension from SC&C uses the aluminum spindles from ATS that allows you to run OEM C5/C6/Z06 brakes so they almost pay for them selves once you are done putting brakes on them, also the geometry is vastly improved over stock and B-body units, what rear suspension are you running??

the wheelbase is 2 in longer than stock, made a difference, comp. eng. 4 link with a wish bone track locator ,koni coilovers,custom sway bar ,
1970 's dodge demon 8 3/4 rear with 4.88 gear set
the dodge rear fit nice underneath and have room for 12.5 in tire print.,the car does really handle well with the road set but ,need to be update with the changes or left behind ,but no trailer queen or barrett in future.
your car sounds like a lot of thought went into suspension.nice job is there pictures?
me and wife are looking at flevoland as a retirement ,how long is your driving season ? many tracks?
