http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=HSS-1803. I have a 650 hp engine in a 69 chevelle. Just wondering if this is worth it. Have stock sus right now with Hotchkis front springs. Was also planning on getting the rear springs to go with it. Any feedback apreciated.

Also, I was looking at their sway bar kits. I have a 3" flowmaster system, anyone know if the rear sway bar will fit?

im my opinion, avoid that particular kit. those upper control arms are the real culprit as they will actually increase suspension bind. check out the edlebrock adjustable upper control arms, currie's with the johny joints, or essentially any upper control arm that has a spherical type bearing on the frame end of the arm. the lowers control arms aren't terrible, but for the price I def. think their are better options-umi, a team chevelle sponsor makes a very affordable adjustable lower control arm:). and as for the trailing arm braces, I think the similiar pieces offered by edlebrock offer a little bit more clearance for your 3" exhaust. hope that helps!

We used these uppers before on a 79 malibu and they worked great. I know several others that have used them and liked them.
