That car looks amazing Remy.


I'm going to start with budget minded upgrades first:

• frame ties
• front and rear sway bars
• shimming the power steering pressure valve
• five leaf rear springs
• Bilstein shocks
• Rear ISO delete

The above will get you interstate capable that feels more modern without breaking the bank.

I can't recommend ties enough. The amount of flex in the unibody is crazy. Difference in normal driving and lane changes at speed will be night and day. Don't go overboard...ties that are welded to the front and rear rails are enough. No need to go through the floor with something like this.

I don't think it's necessary to go with adjustable shocks at this level unless you can get a set for a reasonable amount of money.

More pricey:

• Torsion bars
• Borgeson steering box
• adjustable shocks

Don't be afraid of high rate torsion bars. 300# bars ride fine with enough sidewall. A 235-60-15 BFG on the front works great with this. Higher rate bars though require better shocks, so it does get pricey.

I would start on the cheap list and evaluate as you go. For an expressway cruiser the top list would probably make you happy.
