Hi everyone. New guy here.
I have a 70 TA and I'm getting ready to upgrade the suspension.
Brief history of the car since I got it 4 years ago. It was an all stock RAIII/M20 fresh restoration when I got it. Not a concourse car but nice car for a driver. Since then it's gotten a 467 with out of the box Edelbrock D ports, RA manifolds, 236/242, 520/540 cam. Factory intake and tuned Qjet. Pypes exhaust. TKX with .81 5th and a 3.31 rear.
I just replaced the Rally II's with 18x9 wheels. 265/40 front and 275/40 rear tires.
The suspension and chassis are all stock right now. My plan is for a full PTFB suspension. Tubular A-arms and hybrid coilovers in front. Comp leaf kit, anti-squat brackets and double adjustable shocks in back. Subframe connectors, solid body mounts and G-braces for the chassis.
For brakes I'm leaning toward a Kore3 setup front and back.
This is purely a street car. No autocross or drag racing, but I do like spirited driving on windy roads.
I know there are lots of other manufacturers out there, many of which are a bit more expensive, and budget is always a consideration. Does my plan sound reasonable for my use or are here other manufacturers that I should consider for all or part of it?
Thanks.
