70 Chevelle suspensions...

[LSxChevelle]

Have a 70 that I have almost down to the frame. I'm gonna get it blasted here shortly. My plans are to run the AFX spindles up front to have ABS and C6 Z06 brakes behind a set of C6 Z06 wheels. It will be a LSx/T56 drivetrain. This is to be a driver and go on long trips and also go road racing and drag racing. I would be willing to give up drag racing traction to optimize handling in corners. Now the ?'s begin...

I don't have all the $ in the world and will be doing a lot of work myself and w/ connections I have. The AFX spindles seem worth the $ to me because I need spindles (have stock drums) and want to run ABS and Corvette brakes.

1. How much better are tubular arms? Seem to spendy for what I will get out of them. I don't want to use spacers at all and with the wheel offset I will need longer A-arms. Are there any stock lower arms say on another car that could be modified for this? As far as upper I will probably have a set built for me.

2. Should I go w/ airbags?

3. What clearance issues will I have w/ a ~285/18 front tire? Will I have to notch the frame at all?

4. Out rear now...Want a 335/19 tire so obviously gonna need a mini tub. As far as my rear end I will need to have widened to make up for the offset difference. What style of suspension? Better stock style stuff? Airbags? Is 4 link good for corners? can you do air bags for 4 link? Some prices I have seen for 4 link rears don't seem too bad so I am considering.

Any suggestions/links greatly appreciated.
