I've had the Southside Machine bars on my car since '95, now sold as Lakewoods, but no 12-bolt conversion kits anymore.

Mounting holes for the arms in the frame must be tight, if you run any rubber bushings pinion angle becomes more critical.

I use the HR Parts N Stuff upper housing bushings in the hard rubber style, better than poly or factory.
Fresh factory bushings are better than the poly stuff, for a transbrake launched car.

Stock front springs were fine when I footbraked the car in the low 11's, still running stock style rear springs.

Let me know if you have any specific questions I might be able to help you with.....
