Thanks for your input....

I am not boxing the LCA's I am going the direction of what Marcus at SC&C stated, ( and having the rear loose per-say , like you stated).

LCA's that pivot on the rearend side,with poly bushings frame side, stock UCA's with rubber bushings, a pro-touring sway bar, axle to frame mount , not LCA to LCA mount. and a Fays-2 Watts link, Triangulated UCA to LCA bars, with those LCA frame mounts stiffening braces.

I do have a Old School article, of a G-body that had , 1.5 frant sway bar and .75 rear, with lots of neg camber, and very stiff springs., it worked.. .98 G's, not much more.

Guys, I need a little help and some opinions.

I have the F-41 Jounce bars, and the GP bar installed underneath.
I also have the Radiator X-Braces now installed.
I have just got the Cowl to Radiator Core support braces from a 79 monte.
Also just got the Fender to Radiator Core Support Braces as well from an Olds.

What I need help with is I can't figure out how to run the Cowl to Radiator support braces with the Fender to Radiator Core support braces together, they interfere with each other.

So if they are not designed to work together and you have to choose to run just 1 set, which would it be- :?:
1. Cowl to Radiator Core support bars, pain to work around on the engine.
2. Fender to Radiator Core support bars, easy to work around and look good.

Or is there a way to use both sets together?

Thanks,
Dave

Without seeing both sets compared to each other, I'd venture a guess that the ones to the firewall would serve more purpose, but that is just a guess.

so what exactly were the engineers at GM smoking on when they thought up all these little braces and extra stuff? :|

A. GM had not yet fully embraced the unibody designs that Chrysler, Ford, and everyone else had a decade earlier.

B. Please note the quote in my sig.

First off, jounce bars are not F41 specific. Second, the cowl to radiator support and fender to radiator support have been used together by someone on this forum, I have seen the pics, just don't remember off hand who did it. One side has to run under the fender to radiator support bar, and one side runs over it, just don't know which is whic, but I'll have to figure that out too since I have both sets, just don't have the Monte braces put on yet.

Thanks for the link. I was wondering the same thing and didn't think they would all bolt in. I have both sets , so know i know it will work.

true, i think ill try a set of those rear lower controlarm pocket braces on my car, i think they actually look like a good idea 😀
