Future Suspension Upgrades :D

[MrSony]

Once I get my SBB and TH350 installed, I went through some stuff at summit and this is what I came out with. For now, the bare essentials. Replacing all the parts I know for a fact that are past their prime. For what's in the list, I don't think $607.79 is too bad 😛

Sort of looks like my list. Except I lowered my car a good 3" front 1" rear. List looks good too. Throw in some front and rear sway bars too.

Not too distant future. You jumped on that advice like a chicken on a Junebug.

What a coincidence.. This is what i went with for my 87 el meano..

That and braided brake hoses and a frontend rebuild kit.

New job new house new kid new garage has somewhat delayed the project, but i intend to keep rebuilding the car as i go.

If you are going to be changing your springs it's alot easier to change motor mounts in for your SBB with the springs removed

Personally I would skip the poly bushing kit and go with stock rubber bushings. All the replacement rubber bushings now are harder than the originals, they are pretty much all 1LE spec. Poly is best for the body mounts.

Oh yeah, also those. I can just get some Turbo V6 rubber mounts right? From what I remember they're the same for the SBB.
