68-74 Nova Suspenion Q's...Please post your pics

[bgray]

Hey everyone.

Thanks god i found this site. I am currently in the process of acquiring a nova, and already have a shopping list of parts i need for the car. I am talking a pro toruing approach, and would love to see some feedback.

I know for sure Im going to use a Tubualr Upper and Lower Setup, Coils, and a bar from either DSE or Speed Tech, and probably temporary going to run the hothckis 3" or 1.5" spring setup in the rear. Long run when the motor goes in, and moser rear, I will run a Quadra link...but for now im gonna stay leafs outback.

Id really like to see some pics of Nova's, and PLEASE list your suspension specs...I found a thread, but little to no info pretaining to the specs of the chassis.


Thanks for your input

Heres a quick pic of my other built toy

Welcome to the site. Nice to see another Nova coming on board. If you want to see some pics of my set up, the link to my build thread is in my signature. I have a 68 and am doing a full pro-touring build including a LS conversion. I'm using Speedtech's subframe with their high clearance control arms. More money obviously than going with just their arms and coil over, but now I have true coil overs, rack and pinion and can run a 10" wide rim in front. As for rear suspension, I'm running the prodigy bar set up. It's a triangulated 4-link set up which uses coil overs and adjustable arms. It's nice as there is quite a bit of adjustment to set the ride height. I think the full rear kit runs around 2k give or take. If you want some good advice and opinions on the different set ups...give Frank at www.gpsuperstore.com a shout. He goes by prodigycustoms on here. Great car builder and supplier for all the major suppliers:DSE, speedtech, alston, hotckis, etc. Hope this helps.
