I have built the rear (7.5" 4.10 gears) & trans (metric 200c), and will be freshening the motor this winter. I will do the paint and body work when it gets closer to spring.

Any cheap suspension tips. I believe, according to the rule book, I have to keep the front sway bar. Does it have to be connected? Any tips or info is greatly appreciated.

Dick Miller has all the trick stuff for your suspension.
Especially the Brace which attaches the upper and lower control arms.
An inexpensive upgrade; hardened bushings on the control arms.
The stock ones will break down racing.
Add Airbags.. They make a difference!
Keep the rear sway bar.
Otherwise you OTW ..

BTW what Class are you running in?
