im building my 69 bbc chevelle. it was origionally a ss396 car, and i need to do at least the rear suspention. the thing has a hell of a time hooking. i was thinking of doing the jegster upper and lower adjustable rear control arms, moroso trick rear springs(those are the ones with the stiffer pass. side spring), and competition engineering 3-ways all around(set 90/10 front, and 50/50 rear).

i was going to leave the front springs stock right now, with just the 3ways up there.

any input is appreciated. i just want to ask you guys what has worked for you in the past..

thanks in advance. Jeff

I'd change the front springs before the rear. If the front doesn't come up you won't get much traction.

But the rest of the plan has merit. Fresh bushings are a big plus, as are the stiffer control arm pieces. You'll find many here also run a rear sway to help an even 'plant'.

Welcome Jeff!
