      Hi "Merry Christmas to me

      I have a $5000.00 budget for suspension and Brakes.

      Here is my current Idea.
      Gbar---1600.00
      Touring classics F & R 1500.00
      Global West Uppers and lowers 1000.00
      springs 100
      Unisteer Rack + late model pump 900.00.

      Thoughts or ideas Apprecated. Vendors/Sponsors Please PM me if you have pkg ideas.
      Thanks

      BTW My primary use will be as a driver Mustang destroyer and maybe the occasional autocross or Time attack .. I have an intrest in Targa NewFoundland but that is ambitious for now..

      If I had it to do over again I would save the extra two grand and get a complete aftermarket sub from DSE or Art Morrison. I think you would be happier in the long run.

      based on everything I have read and your intedned purpose this would be great choice. Its what I am going to do to my nova when the cash presents itself.
      72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.


      current cruiser: "The green machine"

      '70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.

      Only problem is we blow the $5000 budget with the Street Challenge kit. it gets the job done, just out of his budget.

      He posted on camaros.net. I would assume he has a first gen. This is purely a guess though.

      I would ditch the Unisteer and either get a Lee box from ATS or a box from DSE. ATS spindles and upper arms from SC&C instead of Global West. ATS spindles will work with you Touring Classic brakes as well and save some coin there as you won't need there front bracket for C5 brakes.

      Don't buy the TVS kit, but buy the individual pieces minus the rear sway bar. Also reuse your stock LCAs an install GW del-a-lum bushings. Take the $$ saved and buy some 17"/18" rims and the best tires you can afford to take advantage of all of the mods.

      My suggestion-

      Front:
      SPC upper control arms -$299
      Moog upper ball joints -$60
      Global West Del-a-lum LCA bushings -$150
      Hyperco springs -$200
      Bilstein shocks -$165
      AFX tall spindles -$695
      Touring Classics C5 front brake kit -$775
      ATS 670 steering box -$515

      Total- $2859

      Rear:
      Hyperco composite mono leaf springs -$600
      Global West del-a-lum bushings and shackle kit -$200
      Bilstein shocks -$165
      Touring Classics rear brake kit -$850

      Total- $1815

      GRAND TOTAL- $4674

      Money left over for misc fasteners, fittings, etc. You will have a fantastic handling vehicle that will hold one hell of a candle to most aftermarket subs out there.

      As long as you have a wheel that can fit the brake system, you can't go wrong here.
