Hello All!
I've been checking out the forum and getting some very useful info from you all. Actually based on your reviews I went ahead and purchased the SpeedTech A-Body Track Time Suspension Package. I initially was only going to do the front end and brakes, but decided to just do it all at one, minus the brakes. Jay Weir was a pleasure to work with and kept me informed on shipping time. I believe my wait was about 4 weeks. Please forgive the bad pictures (and rusty parts). She's far from being show worthy but I wanted...no needed to ride! Sorry I didn't take measurements before the work began. Nothing special yet, 454 yanked out of a 1977 Yukon, TH400 trans, 10 bolt posi (gears unknown), BF Goodrich 255/60/15 front, 275/60/15 rear.

Easily 3 inch drop. Stock spindles. I'm going to bring the rear up a little. Ride is greatly inproved already. Next up, 18 in wheels and larger brakes Most likely Corvette brakes, I'm still undecided on base model vs Z06. Any one have experience with the Tukon/tahoe brake kit like CPP sells or should I just stick with Corvette? I appreciate all comments and suggestions.

If its not a serious track car c5/c6 would be fine & Kore3 would ne the best bank for your buck.

Is the Speed Tech Track Time suspension package capable of handling serious track time? I'm getting ready to do suspension for my 1972 chevelle and it'l have an ls3/T-56..I'm looking for something that will handle the stress of full track days and autocross events. I'm searching for something with minimal or no body roll. Car has 8pt. cage but with stock suspension there is undoubtedly a whole lot of body roll...the car is a dedicated track car so it won't see too many street miles. Also, does anyone know the spring rates for the Speed Tech package? Thanks for the input.
