I'm building a 71' HemiCuda' clone. I have put in a 1 1/8" front sway, 1" torsion bars, polygraphite bushings, tied the frames, 4 wheel Baer brakes, and 3/4" rear sway, T/A steering box. I'm wondering whether the new Hotchis tubular upper A-arms, would be worth adding to the set up I have? Thanks-

With those tubular A-arms you get more that just an A-arm. That A-arm package also includes parts to change the upper control arm geometry to reduce bump steer on those cars. What was explained and showed at the Hotchkis Open house seminar was that through their computer modeling and actual on car measurements, they found the E/B-bodies had lots of bump steer. By changing the upper control arm rear mount location they reduced a bunch of bumpsteer.

At the level and thoroughness of the build you listed above, something like this would make sense.

Great info! I was wondering what the big pluses would be- sounds like the way to go. Any other suggestions? I'm thinking QA1 shocks, and super stock springs-

With at least 3 topics in the General section this week is there any chance we could get our own forum? What's it go take a donation? A sponsor?

I have the single adjustable on all four corners in my 66 Coronet. They are great shocks, really tame heavy duty spring rates and can be adjusted for your suspension and driving style.
