What would you change?

Different style? 3 links? 4 links? Poly vs. rubber?

Anything you had to re-do?

Just curious.

Thanks.

i sitll want to do a 4wheel disk conversion, and lower it and get some better shocks, also new bushings in the front end as well.

the only thing i would change, would be to change out the rear ploy bushings with rubber ones. but i just spent all the money and time on getting these done and installed, and honeslty, i havnt seen a problem with them...yet. but i am on a highschool budget so no money to redo somthing i did a few months ago.

I wouldn't have bought Poly for the rear :rolleyes:

I'm building a 3-link. I don't think you could design a better system even if you wanted to.

I'll post some pics next week.

Curious about 3-link, but "right now" I'd be installing a truck arm kit.

Still happy with PST Poly/Graphite front and rear kit, KYBs, Airlift airbags inside coil springs, nd decision to leave rear drums.

My 65 front components were so worn out, when I installed new rubber bushings it was like driving a new car.

Use quality hard parts. MOOG TRW or DANA. Avoid any of the "kits" if they can't/won't tell you the manufacturer of the tie rods, ball joints, etc. My no-name "kit" lasted less than 40K mi.

I'd start with a better wheel/tire/brake setup...

I currently have 1972 Chevelle discs and 15-inches rally wheels... I'd love to get something bigger (17s, big Corvette discs, 4Wheel Discs, etc), but mine are in such good shape that I can't justify the expense right now... What time and money I have needs to go elsewhere...
