A little bigger on the torsion bars, good factory type shocks (no need for high $$ stuff) front and rear sway bars, rims and tires of his liking, moog offset UCA bushings, and a firm feel box and he will have exactly what he wants, a well handling and responsive cruiser. I would recommend at least 10.89 discs over drums but 11.75 would be better if not already on the ride he picks. He won't be on road courses, just normal driving. He would be more than happy with what I outlined I would think. I am no expert but that what it sounds like.


That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

I see that Firm Feel has suspension 'packages'. Not cheap but it looks like everything you would need. Appears to be based off factory parts except for the tubular UCAs, so no wild aftermarket parts that require this or that to work.

Again, not sure what I will end up with, just doing some preliminary research. Winter is coming soon which means old car season is winding down so this will likely be something that happens next year.

Thanks again for the input.
