      QA1 Dropped Nova

      Hello to all car nuts , I'm new to protouring .com forum and have seen some good info on this site. I am driving a 74 NOVA w/ 72 front clip,
      Hotchkis lowering leaf springs, 9" rearend, Strange center section, Moser 31 spline axles, currently looking into caltracs setup.
      The front end is being worked on ,I just installed SPC upper control arms part # 94305, SSBC drop spindles, stock Moog ball joints, and the QA1 coilover conversion kit w/ 550 lb. spring rate. Spoke w/ A friend who spoke with Mark at SC&C for suggestions and says that I won't be happy with this setup. I know Marcus is spoke highly of and knows his stuff but just dumped A bunch of money into it and would like some input from others. I will probably go with Marks route considering he is very knowledgeable. 383 stroked

      Now I know it was not the parts that were the problem but the combination that seems to be the issue from what im told .SPC may have a different compo upper that may fix my geometry.

      The dropped spindles are not the best performers in the camber area in addition to the 550lb. spring rate. Not the best combo but never the less welcome to the site!
