67 Firebird In Need Of Suspension - HOTCHKIS vs RIDETECH

[salesguy01]

So Here are my specs for this ride height above. This is with a completely stock 400 engine with a/c.

Front. Hotchkis 2" small block drop springs

Rear. 1.5" leaf spring drop Hotchkis

All the way around has the 1.5" Street performance Hotchkis Shocks.

The Rims are 17x8.



Front Tires are 225/45

Rear Tires are 275/40

Next I think this setup at minimum the Hotchkis UCA's
Hope this helps!

Nice, thats a great stance. How does it perform? Cornering is absolute hell for me right now. Does it stiffen up the ride a lot? I sure hope so. I hate that a 275 tire is basically the biggest you can go with out modifying the rear and putting in mini tubs. Oh how I would love to run a 335 or something massive. One wheel burnouts with my open rear end aren't really cool anyways..
