Hi
How can i make my 71 chevelle to handle
like new cars.
I also want to lower the ride.
Is it possible
Thank you

You can put the B body spindles on it to give it a little drop. If you want better handling, get yourself a 1.25" front sway bar and a 1" rear bar, polyurethane bushings and end links, new springs, the list goes on and on. Try doing a search on the things you want to know about, there is a ton of info here about it graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What Dennis said,, :D

Don't make the mistake of making the suspension too stiff. I am probably going to change the 1-1/4"front bar back to a 1" and either go back to the stock F41 springs or something similiar. Other than a glass smooth road, the car is terrible on rough roads. Do it right, change out the control arms to something with different pivot points and change the geometry to a better setup.

Joe,smoother shocks will get the nice ride..leave the sway bars alone.

Go for tubular upper front A-arms that will allow you to get good alignment specs, buy a decent set of springs, and spend as much money as you can afford on good shocks! Shocks make a HUGE difference. Replace swaybar endlinks and all bushings. Don't get bigger swaybars.
Proper alignment specs and good shocks will make a world of difference. Also good tires make a huge difference.

If you want to leave Bimmer boys in awe and have the budget for it...www.hotrodstohell.net. I'm running their truckarm setup, and it is nothing short of amazing.

Also, another part of good handling, is good braking. You can't drive the car properly and get the weight where you want it in a curve if you can't slow it down.
