RE: ride quality of your 5.0's?

Mine is rock solid. Its got poly all the way around, and it came with tubular a arms up front and i added UPR uppers and Steeda lower arms and i mig welded the torque boxes, then did subframe connectors from steeda and tokiko springs and shocks with upr c+c plates. Ive been having a lot of problems bending my c+c plates though i cant get a set strong enough so i modified...well this older guy that used to race chevelles modified them for me and they havent bent since. I got a thicker (1 7/8) sway bar up front (HUGE)

its exellent since im a beginner driver i saved the go fast parts for later and put my money towards handling. Its rock solid over the slightest bump, noisy, highway connectors send shutters through your body, its not too comfortable....

but it turns well !!!

RE: ride quality of your 5.0's?

my car can be be rough sometimes, not too bad though. I think it's the road pulling the car to either the left or right sometimes. I also think it's rough cause it's a vert, with all the metal bars and what not in the back you can hear that **** kinda rattle when driving when the tops up. I mean it's not aweful, but I have noticed it!

RE: ride quality of your 5.0's?

city driving is a joke. i live in MA.. we dont pave roads here we just endlessly "patch" them with the most ghetto crap u ever seen. look at my avatar.. my street is 1/2 dirt and pavement

highways are great tho. smooth ride up to about 120 when the "boxy" aerodynamics kick-in and the wind pushes the car wherever

Mine has a couple squeaks under the dash...and the center console creeks a little bit, and my driverside door rattles when i turn the bass up on my system.
