Hi I have a 1968 chevelle ss 427 and find her too soft on her suspension
I have competition engineering 3 way adjustable shocks + stock springs
I want harder suspension because in the corner the car is like a boat :D
which brand or type of suspension will give me the harder solution for th efront of the car ??
thanks

"Harder" doesn't always mean better...

You probably need to improve the geometry (Maybe call SC&C, and ask about Stage2+ and other options)...

Better spring rates for that Big Block...

Perhaps a larger front sway bar, which won't really make things "harder", but will help limit body roll in the corners...

Maybe consider a new steering box, something with more input force required
before the assist kicks in (this can greatly help the floating feeling)...

Hi yellowvette

Did you order some sway bars? Although CE shocks are a good choice for drag racing, the soft rebound damping causes the car to feel floaty even when the shocks are new.

For general purpose driving Bilsteins are a great choice. Combining them with our upper a-arms are a great combination, even with stock springs. Of course our sway bars help too.

Let me know what you need.

No I order nothing for the moment because I wait after few things to do a big order on summit racing
