I'm building a bracket racer , I recently took her down to big "O" tires and was told that my front suspension isnt working , that the old owner had put in big block springs and that there was a part (dont know the name of it ) that needed to be offset near the control arms in order for the stance the car is supposed to have , a bit high in the front , well my question is what is the best suspension in the front and what company should I look into and do I need a offset arm ( where the shims go) to keep the attitude of the front?

Big zero is the last place I would take a car for any kind of custom suspension work. The part they are refering to is probably an offset control arm cross shaft. There is nothing wrong with running B/B springs if that is the kind of thing are in to. What the hell does "not working" mean???
