Hey guys, I have a 68 bird with a ls7 and t56 magnum. Car has factory 12 bolt with stock leafs. I have hotchkis subframe connectors to put in. But I'm about to have $2800 to spend on the car. I plan on upgrading to wilwood 6 piston calipers on the front so that will take up about 12-1300. So I'll have a little over 1500 left. My thoughts are to upgrade the upper/lower control arms and get the Viking coilovers.
I don't plan on auto crossing o the car or making it an all out drag machine. I would like to have a very nice handling/riding street car. So with the $1500 what upper/lowers should I look at to go with the Viking coilovers? Thanks for looking

DO NOT buy any suspension parts off ebay no matter how good the price seems to be!

if your not autocrossing why do you need to 6 piston brakes?...that money could make the car way better

I do plan on driving the car like it should be driven, so I want good brakes. But I choose to spend a little more for the wilwoods because they do look better than the c5 setups.. In my opinion. Best of both worlds for looks and performance for the buck
