1970 Olds Swapping in a Chevy 12 bolt. (but this is about the suspension part)
Cars Purpose = Family Pro-Touring vehicle.
Street driver, nothing crazy, going to see 400-500hp tops.
No weekly drag racing or autocrossing. Getting a 6 speed implant also.
I'm just trying to find out what people think should be probably be "refreshed" with new parts during this swap.
The rear end is completely rebuilt , good to go, just need supporting hardware refreshing opinions. :naughty:
Upper Control Arms + bushings ? (https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2010/01/1mpt61420032adtype1size1x1type3campid533-1.jpg found these (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5336121898&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Febaymotors%2Fws%2 FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D220531252422%26 viewitem%3D%26sspagename%3DSTRK%253AMEWAX%253AIT))
Springs ? (not sure if they would be recommended or not)
Shocks ? (Bilsteins or looking for recommendations low cost)
Anything else ??
Was thinking of getting those inexpensive Adjustable UCA's but not sure if they
include the differential side rubber bushings or not. Don't want SC&C or Hotchkis
level stuff, just factory or slightly better.
Anyways, any info would be appreciated so I can round up all these parts so when the rear gets here I am ready to go. Thanks.
