      68 firebird suspension

      Hey guys, I have a 68 bird with a ls7 and t56 magnum. Car has factory 12 bolt with stock leafs. I have hotchkis subframe connectors to put in. But I'm about to have $2800 to spend on the car. I plan on upgrading to wilwood 6 piston calipers on the front so that will take up about 12-1300. So I'll have a little over 1500 left. My thoughts are to upgrade the upper/lower control arms and get the Viking coilovers.
      I don't plan on auto crossing o the car or making it an all out drag machine. I would like to have a very nice handling/riding street car. So with the $1500 what upper/lowers should I look at to go with the Viking coilovers? Thanks for looking

      DO NOT buy any suspension parts off ebay no matter how good the price seems to be!

      I do plan on driving the car like it should be driven, so I want good brakes. But I choose to spend a little more for the wilwoods because they do look better than the c5 setups.. In my opinion. Best of both worlds for looks and performance for the buck
