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.

I used Kore3 C5 brakes on a couple of my F-body projects. Top notch parts and tech advice.
With that heavy iron block Poncho (no disrespect) I would go with coil overs so you can adjust for the engine weight.
Because I do LS swaps with alum blocks I have used Hotckiss front and rear springs wise. Bilstein shocks all around.
Current project is a 80 Camaro with a LS3/4l60E swap I used Summit tubular a-arms and they worked perfect.
