I have a 70 chevelle and i got to the point now were i will be replacing the shocks and springs
front and rear . what would be a good set-up for my car . what should i add as far as helping my car hook up when i put the power to the street.
I have a 454 and its mostly a street car but i want a set-up that if i wanted to race my car could go from street to stip
help with spring , shocks, bushings ,rear control arm upper/lower .any and all info. welcomed :confused:

You should use stock springs all around for your engine size. Use Global West or South Side Machine
lower control arms. These allow you to set your pinion angle. Do not put race shocks on a street car. A good aftermarket shock or even something like KYB gas shocks are good. Convert all your upper/lower A-arm and control arm bushings to polyurethane. Consider a polyurethane motor mount on the drivers side. If you are putting a sway bar up front, don't go overboard with an over size bar like I did. Or, you can take it off when you go to the track.

Hope this helps

I was thinking of going with jegs tube upper and lower non adj. control arms okor over kill?? :confused:
and SSM non hop lift bars

Robert G Check here once. You could go with the rear upper adjustable arms for pinion angle. Th en get a set of rear air bags. Adjust air for street and adjust air for racing. What do you guys think about this? Their front control arms look nice, but i think over priced. They do make them for street use. Might be a price difference in them. http://www.trzmotorsports.com

Stock F41 rear suspension and an airbag in the passenger side spring works very,very well.SSM lift bars would be about the only replacement/substitute for the stock boxed arms I would use.And of course,some DOT tires.
