I want to make my chevelle more driver friendly and want to install the following. i'm installing new front and rear springs. i'm using the same exact springs as the attached vehicle http://www.quarterpounders.com/images/Racer1320/racer1320-3.jpg
right now on the front it has all rubber bushings and is good and tight. but i'm gonna install new inner and outer tierods and draglink. also has a manual box which i hope to install a monte carlo ss power box in the near future. also plan to install the stock size front sway bar with polygraphite bushings and endlinks. for the rear i plan to install BMR lower and adjustable upper control arms with a set of no hop bars. also have the hotchiss reinforcement braces. also removing the ladder bars currently installed and adding a stock rear swaybar. i gotta replace the summit drag shocks. looking at the KYB gas shocks($30) from summitt. right now the car rides like a bucket of ****e and my 18 yo daughter is buggin me to drive this thing. i have no desire for a canyon carver and would like it to drag race(w/slicks) from time to time. any input appreciated. also budget is of BIG concern. thanx mike

I think you'll be alright with what you have in mind. What does Ed run for front springs? Aren't they similar in spec to 6 cylindar springs? Might be a little bouncy on the street.
