I dont know that much about these cars but I bought a 73 scamp about a year ago and was wanting to fix it up. Im not looking to build a race machine or anything like that, just a daily driver cruiser that looks nice. The car has a slant 6 if this matters. Now I thought I read somewhere that there were some changes from 70-72 to 73+ in the suspension, but I dont remember what exactly(disk brakes, sway bars??). Anyway, as my car sits right now the entire suspension is toasted. It sits really low like how I want it, but not because the car was lowered, but because the suspension is shot. I want to redo the entire suspension but I want the "lowered" look. How do I go about doing this? I've come across a few website that sell entire suspension kits. Is that all i will need to get that lowered "G-Machine" look or will I need new leaf springs too? And If i do need new leafs do I use mono or other?? Also, Is it really necessary to buy polygraphite or just plain rubber? Again, Im not building a 100k car, just a basic beach cruiser for the summer. Also, what do I need to do to be able to put larger wheels on the car? I want big wheels(18 or 19's with low profile tires) like the way chip foose does his cars on overhaulin(that probably sounds really lame) hahah
Ive did some research and it appears summit, pst, and performance suspension all sell the same stuff, but with different prices. Are these all the same kits? And is something like this really worth the price for what you are getting: http://www.performancesuspension.com/gmachStageI.htm
Dont know I can post pictures of other peoples cars here but here is a scamp that I want to build mine like, but a tad lower and a tad bigger wheels.
Sorry so long. Any help would be really great.
