Please pardon if this has come up before.

There is so much good information on this site that sometimes it's a little hard to get to. Do any of you think it would be worthwhile to start a thread of your favorite suspension builds for different levels of driving? For instance, favorite daily driver configurations, favorite pro-touring configurations, etc.

It's been awesome being able to go to 1 place for the tire/wheel fitment, and it does seem that there are some very tried and true formulas that many of you have worked out at this point.

Thanks,
Mat.

Sure, my 1967 chevelle will be getting these upgrades soon. I love good handling and high performance driving. Will try autocross and such when it's together. Front:700lb springs, carrera racing shocks, hot rods to hell lower control arms, b-body caprice spindle (i can still put on my 15" wheels for the stock look), sc&c uppers, 1.125" sway bar, 12:1 steering box.
Rear:175lb springs, umi adjustable upper and lower control arms, rod ends one end, urethane bushings on the other end, carrera racing shocks.
Should be lots of fun. I love Chevelles!!

Good idea, but IMO, it should also be broken down by overall costs... With the exception of being maybe a little stiff, a really nice "pro-touring" configuration would also make a really good daily driver... pro-touring doesn't have to be "too stiff" springs etc, seems more about geometry fixes and brake upgrades, which end up improving most driving situations...

Personally, I am on a budget and would like to make improvements within that budget...

I tried to write up a post on this, but it was getting to be a lot of effort... it's easier just to type "Call Mark @ SC&C" :D

There's so many variables, such as brakes that effect the real cost of your spindle choice (for example AFX spindles get a lot more affordable than you think, if you plan to run C5 brakes). Tall balljoints aren't that expensive if you need to replace the balljoints anyway, but are kind of high priced if you don't. Desired ride height can change your spindle choice also.
