Hows this setup sound

[ProTour69Bird]

So i've been looking into suspension parts for a while now but havent been able to set my mind to anything, and have just been busy with work or going surfing and havent had time to figure anything out.

Right now i have a set of QA1 stocker shocks. I only have the rear pair mounted because i found that the fronts dont fit in the LCA's, replaced the fronts with just stock replacement right now just to keep it driveable for my dad, since im in hawaii, and dont have any hands on capability. I like the QA1 shocks once fully adjusted there an awesome difference.

So for my complete setup, i'm going to keep the shocks just because there still brand new and i havent messed around with them yet. For my front end i'm looking into the SC&C street comp AFX package with the high durometer bushings. i've been reading about the ATS spindles months before they even hit the market and now that there out, i cant help but get my hands on them after everything people have said about them. they just sound like the way to go. its a spendy package, but it cures alot of Neh-Neh's about the F-bodys front end.

The front end is definitly what i've focused on, not trying to fabricate very much right now, so im KISS'in it (keep it simple stupid)

For springs, i was looking into tru-coil springs, maybe around 650lb-750lb springs in the front, and landrum 5 leaf, leaf springs at 250lbs for the rear both front and rear from speedway motors.

the one thing i havent taken into account is my ride height, the tru coils are 9.5" free height, and the leafs are 6.5" true arch. i dont know how much they'll compress or what the stock free height or true arch is. if they end up being a higher ride hight than i want i can always cut a coil, de arch the leafs or use lowering blocks.

Other odds and ends would consist of suframe connectors, an obvious mod. solid subframe mounts, stiff, but worth it. and probably a front end rebuild kit, just because of the rest of the new front end parts.

I just read a post where marcus (MR.sc&c) said sway bars are a tuning aid, i'll look into them but probably just a BIG front one from hotchkis.

Well this is what i've come up with. i think it would work pretty well but i always like to get verifacation from someone who knows exactly what they're talking about

Thanks guys, i'll try and get back soon, its just that the weather here in maui is so nice, i usually find myself outside alot.

Well the surfs up on south side.


shiny side up, rubber side down, dont roll your cars boi's!

you need the hidden spring adjusters from speedway.

This is what I would do:
speedway spring adjusters
trucoil springs
afx spindle & steering arm
spc adjustable upper arms
stock lower arm w/ del-a-lum bushings
new ball joints
NOT a big bar. With the spring rates you are looking at that you probably won't need a huge bar. put the stocker back on and see how it feels.
