Well my pop has a 67' GTO {hey its the same thing as a chevelle...just longer} were doing up this winter and im wondering what sort of traction devices you guys use for coil spring A-body cars??? Its not going to be a 10 second monster or anything but 12.XX is probably a reality. Im just curious what i could do without chopping anything up or killing the ride quality. Let me know my options. thanks

I'd like to add to the list instead of the SSM lowering bars you could install the no-hops which change the instant center to a more favorable location.

Box those lower arms when adding the sway bar if you're not using aftermarket arms. That'll stiffen them up and prevent flex.
