NO front sway bar. Not sure I could've made the factory setup work- the wheels are at the very front of my car! No room for a sway bar! The torsion bars are factory 318 C body bars. It rides a little stiff but not bad. The C body was over 4000 pounds I'm sure, and my Coupe a touch over 3000 pounds.
My front wheels are 15x5 with 165/R15 on the front, it handles way better than it has a right to shruggy
Shocks are KYB Gas-A-Justs

I don't recall seeing a picture of your front suspension earlier. Can you possibly post a few to help those of us who are trying to envision how the C body clip was attached?

Thanks much. That looks great. Your car is just perfect from my perspective, including the parts used and the workmanship to bring everything together. Would love to see it in person someday.

That damned "life" thing that gets in the way!!!! lol
I was redoing my Coupe in 1988/1989 and started a family. My Coupe went to the back burner for 20+ years while I raised my kids. I got back on it on and off in 2001. Tore the car completely apart and redid it the way I WANTED to do it. No compromises this time. Stripped to a shell. Again.
Then life hit me with another good one. Ex hooked up with a coworker and wanted a divorce. And a nasty divorce at that. So I stumbled for several years on and off again. But I kept at it.
Soon I hope finished! I've got over a dozen cars now, built lots while building my Coupe too. I hope my Coupe works out well, it will be my daily driver soon hopefully!!!
