My head hurts...IFS help/ideas!!

[Draginutz]

I am looking to update or redo my front clip on my 63 nova. Now a full bolt on clip can cost from high $2000 to over $5000. This will be a mostly street driven car with a few track days here and there. I am looking at TCI, Heidts, Martz, HotRodsToHell, and Scotts setups (Alston is a little pricey for me). I am even looking into Mustang II setups. My head hurts from all the reading and research. I know most are Camaro guys on here but if you have dealt with one of the companies listed chime in with problems/concerns/kudos or advice. Thanks in advance

P.S.- If you know of another quality company that makes a bolt on front clip for 1st gen novas let me know.

Nothing??? No one??

Rumor has it DSE is working on a ChevyII subframe. Id wait to see what they offer

[novaderrik]

if Alston is too pricey for him, then i doubt that anything from DSE will be in his price range.

Classic Performance Products has a very nice tubular lower A-arm kit (called the mini-subframe). They also make tubular upper A-arms, coil-over conversion, and many disc brake kits. You will be suprised how much improvement these low cost bolt-on options will help your ride and handling. www.classicperform.com

I was real close to doing the CPP and/or church boys setup, but to do a total Church boy setup is almost as much as a new clip. And lately I have been hearing about problems with Cpp and their kits. Its not that alstons stuff is too pricey. Its that for a street driven car that I just want to cruise 95% of the time and a let loose once in a while I have a hard time spending over 5000 when I could do a TCI stang II or something simiar for around 2500. Would the alston kit really be worth another 2500 Plus for a "street" car. I have a hard time justifying that. Thats 2500 I could spend on a lot of othe things. Thanks to all for responses and I am kind of waiting to see what DSE brings to the table and price ETC..

Ok, I have a 62 nova. I have a MII setup. I dont see the problems. I really dont see the issues with the MII setup. Its miles better than the stock suspension. And mine is, or was the TCI tubular control arms. I dont know. If anyone could provide any good data for how any other of the "bolt in/weld in" systems are any better Id love to hear about it. JR

Oh, yup, I did have to weld in a new K member, stock rails though.
