Gents,
I am trying to figure out my suspension as i have got the what i call "two thousand dollar yourself to death" bug on this build.
Long story short, I added about 50 more HP to my 427 big block and the factory 6cyl 10 bolt didnt like that very much with a 275 tire. So i ordered a Moser Engineering 12 bolt (yes i know 9" conversions work but something about keeping it GM i like)
Here is what I have:
Front:
Spindles: Stock
Control Arms: Unknown Tubular
Springs: 6cyl with spacer (no i didnt do this)
Shocks: Factory style replacement
Sway Bar: 1"
Rear:
Rear End: 10 Bolt
Springs: Mono Leaf
Shocks: Monrow Air Shock
Sway Bar: None
Here is what I want to do:
Front:
Spindles: CPP C5 Hub with ridetech true turn (i want to get a 9-9.5" wheel with a 265/35/18)
Control Arms: Keep Current tubular for now
Springs: Viking 650#
Shocks: Viking Hybrid Coilovers from Speedtech
Sway Bar: 1" for now
Rear:
Rear End: 12 Bolt Moser (3.55 33 spline Truetrac)
Springs: Speedtech Torque arm or Chasis works G-bar (cant decide)
Shocks: Matching single adjustable coil overs
Sway Bar: None
Comments:
I plan to mini tub the car at a later date
I cant currently afford a full front subframe
I will be running Wilwood brakes on all 4 corners
Advise comments or concerns? Any help is greatly appreciated
