X2 on tires and wheels above on my 87 Firebird.
Spend your money on the rear suspension and torque arm before worrying about the front end. Adjustable shocks on rear, or cheaper way that worked well to start with was airbags in rear. These cars work well, and can get you in the game without spending a ton of money. Can always tweak it later. Good luck. Ken Stock 412 |

Also, in the rear, make sure you have the stock sway bar, it will make the car leave even.
I have an air bag on the right side too. I use all the S & W suspension parts too. Afco Double Adj. rear shocks.

Let me see if I can save you a few bucks in General. Buy the good parts/the parts you really want on the car the first time. I wish I had waited another year to get my car ready. And bought all the good stuff the first time around. Its not a big deal as I can Keep all of my "first time around, lets just get it going parts" as spares. But I did waste a significant amount of money doing it this way. Because I'm now going back and replacing those "OK they will get me going heads" with the "best money can buy heads" ect ect ect now. My plan worked in that I got it going and got to try the class without spending huge amounts of money. But I should have known I was going to get hooked on this and buy the good stuff at some point anyways and saved myself some work and money.
