Need advice, Clueless.....

Ok well the new guy on the site here... I have no idea about what is best for me to do. I have a 67 camaro that I'm dropping an LSx into with a t56. As far as the bolt-on 4 links. Is there any advantages over the leafs or is there a good bolt-on kit that will perform better. The car is gonna be pretty much 50% drag strip 50% street as turning really isnt that important mainly straight line... Also what is the best setup as far as front suspension. From searching around am I right that it is a very weak point for the car? Like I said I'm clueless and I was looking for some help. thanks...

Hotchkis, detroit speed. ats, look at their websites and pick a system. Stick with one company if you can, its the simplest way. Go on dave pozzis website,also Carl c.

Turning is important unless you trailer your car to the track. Give some thought to stopping also.

Yeah I've figured on upgrading the brakes.. I just didn't know which was better for what i was wanting.. bolt-in 4 link or aftermarket leaf setup. The car is mainly gonna be setup for a straight line but it will need to turn alittle on the street. I just have searched and I'm getting mixed opinions on the bolt-in 4 links and it seems the general opinion is the bolt-in kits aren't worth the money and you can get a leaf setup working just as good for alot cheaper...

Go with detroit speed or hotchkis if you have the budget. Brakes on the first gen can be easily upgraded to 4 gen fbody ls1 or corvette brakes. See:

BRP www.brphotrods.com makes a bracket for the ls1 fbody brakes.
