Suspension kit decision

[Nothingface5384]

Cant go wrong with the 3 companies you've listed
For spindles either ats or lh kustoms
As for carb..edelbrock performer is ok..the avs version is better nit still mot great.
Of you eant a great carb either buy a rebuilt q jet from a specialist such as Ken from Everyday Performance or buy a street demon carb best out the box carb

If you decide to go with ride techs shock waves consider the airmaster brake kit

As for full kits im for one that cant seem to find a perfect kit..I always end up finding something i dont like and find other vendor parts to fill the void

AH gotta love paying the tax man. Put me at a disadvantage for a little bit, so I've got another couple weeks to decide. Thanks everyone for sharing your experience and thanks to those manufacturers who reach out to their customers on this level. It really does set you apart from your competitors.

Leaning towards ridetech for my 69 Chevelle with LS1. So many choices out there. Got the LS1 last year and my suspension needs an upgrade to match the engine. Thinking the level 2 kit. Can I use my existing sway bars? HO front 1.25in solid (company used to be in Hawthorne,CA in mid 90,s) and a stock rear GM sway at least for the time being. Not trying to break the bank but figure this will hopefully be the last suspension upgrade I need.

Yes you can reuse your sway bars.

Thanks, I know eventually I want to upgrade to better ones.

And I am thinking that I probably will only need the single adjustment shocks since it will be mostly street driven as well but want the better adjustabilty just in case.

Singles are good for most applications. Dedicated track cars benefit most from their triple adjustables. If you need a quote let me know!

Anyone have link or suggestions on how to remove and replace the upper bushing on the rear end on an A-Body?

We just did a set yesterday. They were poly so the inner part just pressed right out after pressing the sleeve out (use a deep socket with a rib, like 3/8 or 7/16). Then we sliced the shell with a muffler tool and tapped the flanges in to relieve pressure.

With stock rubber, you can drill through the rubber in a few places to get the rubber piece out. Then proceed accordingly.

There are a few tools out there but they're $50+ and we like to do things the hard way.

Installation was much easier as we simply slid one of our new Roto-Joints in there and spun the clip on.

Ordered ridetech level 2 kit and looking forward to install. Need to replace the dog ear bushings since they are still the rubbers ones. Was thinking about these and wanted anyone thoughts and feeling. Overkill or just go with poly ones. Not looking forward to their removal but got some suggestions on removal of them. http://www.cachassisworks.com/p-1488...-bearings.aspx
