Quote: Just got back from the Pocono Raceway (PA) road coarse event. I can't believe the huge difference the XV suspension upgrade made to my cars handling over stock. Car rides nice, no body roll, a real pleasure to drive!! Even in the rain.
The car looks great!!
I'm curious - what was your previous "stock" suspension? Was it still set up as per 1970 factory specs?
My 1971 Satellite Sebring uses 205 lb/inch torsion bars, polygraphite everywhere, fast ratio pitman/idler, 1 1/8" sway bar, KYB's, Rick E's disk brake swap, and a firm feel steering box. I'm considering upgrading to XV, but I'm wondering what kind of improvement I can expect given my current setup.
Thanks.

The suspension was all stock. I had replaced all bushings with OE and replaced every moving part in the FE back in the day.
I can't say how your Sebring will ride and handle. But my T/A handles like a slot car now. I would say ride in a stock E Body then ride in a XV suspension car. Your eyes will open up!!!
