Very basic suspension upgrade? - Lateral-g Forums

Tweaked Zed · #1 11-03-2009, 08:46 PM

I just bought a 1969 Camaro with a small block, and would like to upgrade the suspension a little. I am thinking about doing just basics, as it is only used for leasurely trips through the mountains and such. I have front coilovers for it with both(either) 350# and 550# springs, and am looking for a swaybar. As I am on a budget with this one, I have found some very cheap front swaybars, but what is the biggest difference with a $99 one and a $399 one when they are both 1-1/8"? Strength is probably going to be the first answer, but how much difference, really? Anything I should do to the multi-leaf rear suspension other than bushings?

Thankyou for any and all info.

If you can fit it in the budget the Hotchkis TVS is probably the best bang for the buck. If not and you just want to do a few things here and there give the guys at Speed Tech a call. They are also in Canada, that may help with shipping and or import taxes/fees. I am not sure how that works.

There are many ways to improve what is already there, Blake or Roger can take good care of you.

Let us know what you end up doing, and include pictures.
