I want to get the Brakes and Suspension set up on my 72 before i do anything else to the car. I figure there is a lot of knowledge here on this forum, so I want some opinions please. Car is going to mostly just be a driver. I am looking for stiff handling, but without too much bind or something dangerous.
Brakes:
98+ F body front brakes with Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads (I already have these from off my last F body, so it is great I can adapt them to the chevelle!)
98+ F body rear brakes (If I can figure out how to put them on the 12 bolt.)
Not sure what Master Cylinder yet....
Fr. Suspension:
Offset upper control arm shafts
Koni shocks
Hotchkis springs
Poly bushings
BMR Fr Swaybar 1.25"
Rr. Suspension:
Koni shocks
Hotchkis springs
BMR lower Control arms (Poly/poly)
BMR Mount braces
Edelbrock Adj. upper Control arms
BMR Swaybar Rr. 1"
I think this covers everything (except 16" or 17" wheels). I have heard from some not to use the sway bar in the rear, but want to get some more opinions. Please, let me know what you think and if this all sounds okay.
