A-body chassis dynamics, handling

Koni shocks can be great or just OK. depends on the model and how the shock is built. (shocks on race cars can retail at $7500, yet I can still buy shocks for my Newport for 35 bucks.....) it has to do with how stiff the body is, size and dia of the rod, valving, adjustability etc...

I was reading last night that Koni has made adjustable shocks or some vantage A body cars, so you should try to reach out to them and ask.

i don't think you can replace the bushing on the Idler and Pitmen, just put new ones in, they are only about 100 bucks from just suspension. Well worth it.

Stiffer valved shocks and bigger t bars will help the floaty thing a lot. Do you know what size your T bars are?

Concerning the Sway bar thing. Be very careful about moving the mounting points around. it will have a dramatic effect on the performance of the bar. and remember, the bar will not help the float feeling. bars only come into play after you have "turned in" the car. The reason for bars is to fine tune the chassis after turn in, as the car heads towards apex or exits apex, but that's a discussion for another thread......It's the shocks and T-bars that effect turn in and "float" (as the bars are not doing anything if the car is going straight - unless you have the bars loaded and your corner weights are off...)
