I'm running a stock suspension in my 70 Roadrunner and am looking into getting into the suspension.First things first I need new shocks...Bilsteins are first on my list but I'm open to suggestions.Firm Feel sway bars front and back are second...and third the UAC and LCA from FFI plus a few other front end items.This is for a street application but I sure like to drive this car.Any further info/comments or words of advice any of you guys can add would really be appreciated.So much to learn and so many of you guys with years of experience with the cars...what a great site!



Sounds like a good plan. The benefit of the UCA (upper control arms) is they allow better alignment specs. You should be looking for .5-.75 degree negative camber and 3-5 degrees positive caster with factory toe settings. Its hard to impossible to get there with factory UCA's thus the recommendation to go with the FFI arms.

The only other comment is if you like the result and want to firm things up even more with bigger T bars, I would suggest more frame and K member stiffening. Frame connectors and a fully welded/gusseted K would be on the list. No point in having real stiff springs at the 4 corners of the car and the chassis flexing in the middle. Not necessary for your plan as is.
