Have you upgraded the TB's yet?
If not, I suggest that first, then see how the rear likes that change.
No changes yet going to be a winter project. Items I am changing.
K-frame to reinforced one
Lower control arm plates, has the better bigblock arms
Adjustable struts
Upper arms for caster not sure what brand not rod end style
Has firm feel box and 11/16 tie rods, quick ratio will not clear headers, has welded subframe connectors with 2 driveshaft loops.
Front sway to 1-1/4
1.00-1.03 bars
Rear springs, and b-body width housing maybe rear swaybar
The motor either a 408 or a 6.4 crate
Mount the whole mess by the pinchwelds, square the rearend, square the k-frame, equal distance the lower ball joints to the rearend, then align it. These changes should make it feel a lot better at speed.
I see complaints on all brands of rear springs, I like the design of the hotchkis, are they really that bad? I know the rate is a claimed 160, is that too stiff for this planned front setup? Was thinking soft rate is better. Sounds like I may be changing springs a few times so wanted some input from others experience, to get a close starting point.
