Hey how's it going. Glad to see another nova project. From what I see, it's sounds like you and I are in the same boat with decisions. Sounds like your doing well with the research. I suggest to take everything in, and decide what is in the best interest of your needs and budget. Don't be afraid to be a bit conservative with suspension if it will help finish the car. It may not be as good as what's available but within reason, for our needs, it's not to far off. Here is what I decided on:
mopar performance leaf spring reloacion kit, moves them inboard 3".
I'll build my own panhard bar to help lateral sway. Coys c-5 20x10 with 5" backspacec, nitto nt-555 305/35/20. Global west del-a-loom bushings and make my own tubs and narrow the stock 8.5 and run he stock drum brakes. I'll move the shocks inboard as well. I'll build my own sub frame connectors, and brace the stock a-arms up front, larger front sway bar. Stock brakes. Probably qa-1s. This will all allow me to finish the car and not have to save up crazy amounts of money to buy top notch stuff. I admit, I would love to go with dse front and rear suspension, fiske wheels, but I just started a family and it's just not in my budget right now. Someday it will be, but hat will be a different car.
Good luck!
