Found this site today while researching suspensions. I haven't had time to go through a lot of it yet but there looks to be quite a bit of info I can use.
I own 3 68 Firebirds I'm working on for 3 different uses.
First is a Coupe I've owned for over 30 years now under restoration, RA-V 428, 525 hp, M-22 tranny, 12 bolt 4:11 rear. So far I've changed all bushings to ES and added subframe connectors and CE slider links to the rear. It's pretty much just a heavy hitter/weekend cruiser.
Second is a Convertible I've had for 23 years, it's an all original OHC-6 that still gets driven, it's in need of restoration but until the other two get done it'll stay as is. When the time comes it'll stay more of an upgraded original than modified.
Last is a car I recently bought and I'm building it for class racing at Road Atlanta and other area tracks. For now it's getting a 366 Pontiac, M-20 and 10 bolt 3.73 posi. Mainly using parts I already have. But the immediate needs for suspension parts led me here. Looking at Global West for a Kit, staying with the stock A-arms for now but changing the springs and bushings all around. Roll cage, seat and fuel cell are things I'm installing at present.
That's it for now. See you on the boards I hope.
