What good will these really do? and HOW?

From what I have read around here, it will stiffen the car allowing you to better take corners. But it will make the car a rougher ride. This is what I have read and not from my personal experience.

And if you don't have the pony package I'd recommend an investment in some sway bars.

reduces squat...stiffens it up...lowers 60' times...helps in handling...overall nice mod if you go with it...theyre a chore to install though

Aftermarket LCAs are really designed to reduce the amount of wheel hop inherent in these cars.

maybe the upper but lowers are easy except for torquing the nuts down. Its only 4 bolts and the emergency cables. Pretty much everything is easy on cars with out rust so much easier tahn working on the 67 or the 37 lol

a rotisserie? haha, nice.

control arms really aren't anything tough, considering i proudly did the rear end swap myself! (with another person helping only to lift it back up in place!)

i'm looking into suspension packages, and think ill hold off on the control arms. REALLY want to go F/I but suspension is a big part too...

all about $$$
