Full suspension kit options?
Hey guys! I'm finally getting ready to pull the body off of my 1970 350/350. I'm looking for a full kit that's just a tad stiffer than stock, with all bushings, and includes a composite rear mono spring. I want to avoid buying doubles of things and I'd really like a kit that has good feedback within the community already, so if anyone can help me that would be great, thanks.

wow... yea you have me salivating too. It's just a little bit to radical for what I'm looking for. I think I can rebuild my own A arms and I defiantly don't need any tubular cross member lol. If I was building a track car I'd be all over that.

Any thoughts on this kit? It doesn't seem complete to me though. Looks like its missing bushing kits and what not.

I did the first kit form VB&P It's a great kit, well designed, easy to install (I only used hand tools & jack stands) and if you have any question they are easy to talk to and quick to respond. If you want to keep the stock suspension but just upgrade parts, I would consider some of VB&P less aggressive systems. These guys know their stuff. You will more than satisfied

I'm only looking for a slight upgrade from stock as I'm trying to remain as original as possible. I went the full original route with my 1970 Chevelle SS' suspension and it has terrible wheel hop. I want this car to drive and handle as well as it looks when I'm done with it.
