A-body front suspension advice
Now that I have a filed a dispute with my CC company over never getting my parts from SC&C I need to figure out how to get what I need to get my car back on the road. I still feel Marcus gave me solid advice.
Car is a 64 Pontiac Tempest Convertible that is just a fun cruiser. I had planned on just replacing the Arm bushing with the ridetech Delrin bushing and the ProForged tall BJ.
I then discovered 3 of my arms were junk so had to decide what direction to go. I'm still using drum brake up front for now.
The plane that Marcus help me decide on was get a stock replacement lower control arm and use the deline bushing I have. That way I can keep with the drum brakes. (I did this and its ready)
Then get the adjustable SPC arms with delrin bushings and the HOWE tall BJ for the top. We all know how much he loves the Howe BJ
Plus I was going to get the Varishocks for just the front since I was using my old KYB firebird shocks. He said they don't have the full travel.
- So looking around on Summit they have the SPC arm (94320) but they come with rubber bushing not delrin and I don't see an option for it. SC&C arms say they have 4130 cross shafts. They also come with I assume a stock BJ. Was Marcus was selling his own variant of this arm? Hovering over the stock photo had the number spc94364pro. I realize its just a stock photo and probably doesn't' mean anything.
- Should I just use the proforge .5 taller BJ I got with my ridetech stuff and skip using the Howe BJ? Does the proforge have the same 64* range of motion?
- I purchased the Moog Lower BJ but I have not put them in yet. Does Howe or PF make a better stock press in lower BJ I could use?
Lost and confusedSome times I'm fast sometimes I'm half-fast
