I would also recommend checking out Team Chevelle. Lots of good info over there. I got my suspension from SC&C and I am happy with it.

IF you spend a lot of money on one specific front suspension item make it the steering box. Not a rack, a box! Most will tell you that Lee Manufacturing (Tom Lee) makes the best product out there. Not cheap but worth every penny.
Lower control arms are along for the ride so generally not needed. Upper arms, spindles, ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends, adjustment sleeves, suspension mounting points and shocks are a whole nother discussion. All the manufacturers make great stuff. Just ask them!
I suggest you spend a LOT of time searching this site and Lateral G for the information you desire. EVERYONE wants to sell you something that works. Again just ask them!
Instead of looking for the easy way out and opinions why not do the research on these 2 sites to see what others who have actually bought and installed all these different products have to say about them and the results.
Is it a lot of work? Yes!
I would also call the manufactures/dealers and hear their pitch. Just remember where it comes from!
Only you know what type of driving car you really want and what your wallet can stand. You can spend $500 or $5,000! Just remember it's all GOOD just ask them!

yea i've been to Team Chevelle and checked out suspension from SC&C. I appreciate your comment about their stuff. that's what im looking for. thanks again Jchilders.....I will also check out Lee manf. for the steering box, but guys don't mis-understand...... I have been researchin this for a LONG time, saved my $$ and am ready to get going. It's just that as "vintageracer" said....everyone has it....and everyone's the best. I was just hopin to find someone with great handling, great driving car like mine who is well satisfied with their suspension and didn't mind sharing it..as I said before my head is spinning from all the "research". Thanks for your help guys
