I am swapping out my current suspension, which the guy that owned it before put a lowering kit on the front (which I dont care for cuz the car bottoms out). The car is a 69 SB and I am looking for something that is close to stock, but I would like a nice ride. Anyone have any suggestions or pics they can help me out with?

I have a stock set of upper and lower control arms for sale in the Classifieds section.

Wat? :confused:
Do you have drop spindles or drop springs or both? Factory control arms? Simple solution for springs, buy new ones. Not so simple solution for drop spindles... Get OEM spindles. You more than likely need good shocks to take care of that "bottoms out" situation. You tell US what YOU have so we can make accurate suggestions.

Not sure about the spindles, I believe the guy said he lowered the front by changing the spring size by 1 1/2 inches. How can I tell if the spindles are non factory size?

Sounds like the guy cut the springs instead of buying actual drop springs.
