Suspension
Anybody know of any good suspension kits out there? i drive a 72 coupe with a new powerplant going in soon... 302 with hopefully 300-350 hp and i know the old boat-like suspensions going to kill me.. i rebuilding the C4 and my stock brakes have just been redone... still using the stock discs up front and drums in the back... the car is a daily driver but im really looking for a more firm ride... i plan on polyurithaine (sp?) bushings but as far as the actual shocks/leaf springs etc. im so lost.. anyone know of anything to make the ride a little more... modern? any help is awesome, thanks =-)

RE: Suspension
What do you want, smooth ride and good handling, drag racing? There are some good aftermarket kits out there with very modern suspension setups, but you're talking like over $3,000 just for the rear.

RE: Suspension
Well im looking for something kinda smooth and pretty safe up untill about 120 or so just in case i feel like getting on it on the freeway... i dont need anything amazing and cost of course is an issue but the car is a daily driver and i do get a heavy foot sometimes... something that would feel more like a newer mach 1 or maybie like a WS 6 but it dosnt have to be quite at the WS 6 level... a little firmness is fine with me....

NPD street bandit handling kit with some global west parts like upper and lower a arms and adjustable strut rods.
Im running that same setup minus the global west upper a arms. I have been very happy with the performance, I have Porsche 944 and the mustang handles right on par with it. I drive the mustang a lot more than the Porsche but when i drive the Porsche I don't say "Wow what huge difference this German technology makes, I guess thats why this car was 33,000 dollars new" I DO say "Wow power steering sucks the mustang has way better road feel with the manual steering setup"

RE: Suspension
The export brace and monte carlo bar help a lot also you might want to think about bigger brakes too 60-0 matters too.Id go with http://www.opentrackerracingproducts.com/index.html or go full coil overs.
