68 Clamato - Pro Touring Build

[Sbeck09]

Looking killer so far. Coilover ride quality will blow your mind coming from leafs. 4 inches of travel is solid so good job there. You can alter that by changing rocker ratios as well (same thing for spring rate).

Something to be careful about, try to make sure your suspension load is aligned through the rockers. I can't really tell if you have an issue, but having the suspension rod pushing at an angle can really stress the mounts and cause bind/premature wear. This is why you see the rockers laid over at odd angles when the shock isn't in line with the control arms like yours. You should always be able to draw a straight line through every pivot point.

Here is an example of how to correctly redirect the loads when needed:

Notice how the rocker is angled to redirect the loads along the same plane when the shock is not inline. Hope this was helpful. Definitely not trying to say anything negative about what you've done.

For a sway bar, I called up Speedway Engineering (http://1speedway.com/index.php?route...tegory&path=76) for my front. Just know how wide and what size of arms you want and they hook you right up. Feel free to call and pester them with questions about what size/rate since that really helped me. I thought it was a good value too.
