Hey guys,

I am getting close to decision time on my front suspension and need some input.

I am going to try the L&H tall spindles, steering arm and billet hubs.
I plan to drag race this car so I am going with Santhuff OE style springs and d/a Varishocks. I need help deciding on what contol arms I should go with. I do not want to lower my friont end and I expect wheels up launches and hard street miles. The SPC arms are not high on my list anymore due to no bump stops. What do you guys recommend??

FYI
My rear suspension is as follows:
Currie currectrac upper and lowers, HR anti-roll bar, UMI Braces. Plan is for 150# Hypercoils and Budzter adjusters.
For shocks I am going with stock mount location d/a Varishocks.

Thanks for your opinions!

Russ

Global West sells "drag" a-body arms with a ton of caster in them to keep the car straight. Something to look in to.

I love Speedtech and Hotchkis also have great caster gain.

In the end, most all mentioned so far are really great.

BMR has a nice looking set up for the money. So does Spohn. just a lil more food for thought.

I'm curious about these too, for my G-body. I'd like to run 6-7 degrees caster and I was wondering if anyone else had tried them in a PT setup.
