Hello all.. Newbie here :cheers:
So I have been poking around on this site and a few others trying to piece together my best course of action for my 70 Monte..
I got the car with 56K original miles on it with the original motor and interior.. from what i can tell the passenger door is not original.. but there is no damage anywhere to explain the door change...
A few months back I pulled the old springs (which someone used a torch on to lower the car :machine:) I threw in a set of rear springs i had laying around and a old set of QA1 Coil overs, but it still drove like crap...
This past weekend I got in my Hotchkis 1" drop springs and matching shocks and knocked out the install in a few hours.. But it still doesn't sit right for me... So back to the forums for some research,,,
My new plan after reading all the pros' & con's of the different things I read. I'd like to go with a set of Hotchkis upper and lower A-arms (but there is no real input on weather they address geometry issues), with a ATS AFX Tall Spindles and billet steering arms (those for sure will correct any and all bump steer issues), and trim the coils to bring the lower A-Arm parallel with the ground. ...
This is where i need all the advice you all can give me...
Thx,
Kevin:thankyou:
