Default Re: Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question

My car had the old school bushing trick, but when a bolt backed out and so did the bushing I decided it was time to make it right with global wests. I was concerned with wheter theyre shafts would be legal or so I used my stock shafts. Also it does not have any weibe chassis parts, and I have no intention of changing because it works excellent as is. Someday it may become a problem as power levels increase yes, but not anytime in the near future.

After all my research, I went with...
Afco steel bushings
Afco low friction ball joints
Global West shafts
Speed Tech bump steer kit and solid body bushings
I spent a lot of time paying attention to the big wheelstand cars. There was no other option, Santhuff shocks and Landrum spings to finish the front.

Thanks, I am going to do my full study and do something similar. Buying parts and pieces that are the best balance of performance & price.

What engine trans do you plan on using,also convertors play a big part of how a stocker leaves the line.Be aware that Alf rear kit was deamed illegal a while back, it may have changed now. When one Alfs kit was installed on a69 chevelle stocker it did not pick up anything. It did make the car leave better no twist body roll ,but no quicker.If you plan to run a 396-375 or 427-425 then buy Alfs kit.
