Re: Coil spring/ control arm suspension
Ian. The chevelle looks great. Looks just like a stocker and hope to see you out next year with that crate motor. As far as the car goes id be ordering a set of moroso coils for the front and get that nose in the weeds. It probably could come down 6 inches or more. I didn't get to see it make a run but with your fab skills I would be building an anti roll bar for the rear that "bolts" to the frame rails. That way it falls under the catagory "bolt on traction device" and will pass tech. I made mine out of 1 5/8 roll bar with 1 x 3 for the arms. With 1 to 2 turns of preload on the passenger bar I have been 1.34 with the back wheels in 60 ft.
When I use to run my car on the motor I would crank the pass side air bag to 30+. It would sit all crooked and ignorant in the pits but when it left it would leave perfectly straight. When I was running 11.40's It would go 1.46-1.49 in 60ft. Ohh and I used Southside Machine (now Mr. Gasket) lift bars for lower control arms. They work great. I always ran stock uppers with bushing. I have adjustable ones now that are set to factory length.
