Best tubular upper control arms?

hangten said

my car is a 75 Hang ten Dart that I want to set up like a 70's Trans Am racer. Will be mostly a street/offramp carver. will be running 15" minilite style wheels and want the car to have that racecar stance. Any suggestions on how to set the car up (shocks, springs, torsion bars, sway bars) would be greatly appreciated.

Are you interested in taking it out to a track? Or just aggressive street driving?

Aggressive street:

.99 T-bars
1 1/8 front sway bar
3/4 rear sway bar
Qa1, edelbrock shocks, KYB's are ok but at thier limits to keep up to .99 T-bars.
offset upper 7103 UCA bushing per diagram here: http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/susp/18.html
rubber LCA bushings are fine
poly strut rod bushings modified like so: http://users.erols.com/mathewg/bushings.html
3-5 degree positive caster closer 5 is better
1/2 negative camber
1/16" toe in
11.75 late B-body factory front disk
adjustable rear proportioning valve
frame connectors
firm feel power steering box
11/16" tie rods off a C-body


What backspacing are those MiniLites? What minilite version are they? You really need 4.25 to fit 225/60/15 in the front. Rear you could do 255/60/15 at least with is lowered some.

Rewelding the K-member and adding some reinforcement around the steering box bracket would be nice.
