Great forum guys! I just discovered it.

I have a 69 Malibu that's setup for strip racing and I'll be slowly converting it to a pro-touring setup.

I just purchased some old disk brakes that came off a 71 cutlass and I'll be putting them in soon.

My question is, what else should I do while I'm in there? swaybar? new suspension?

Will it be easier to upgrade something else at the same time or can I wait without having to remove the same things again?

get use to that, it never changes.
Well thats a loaded statement, how far do you want to take it?
You can do a bushing swap, bushing choice depending would depend on your driving style and intentions for the car. Poly's are ok for the street. Sway bar would be good, 1" bar is fine for all around performance. Shocks and spring swap would be a good thing to do now.

Doh! Sorry about that. I was so anxious to get help I didn't even pay attention to that.

Off to the brake forum!
