thanks for using my picture as an example Brit
1st gen F-body and that X-body nova Have the worst front suspension ever built, and hell the backs not far behind, on either car my biggest recommendation is fix (get closer to correct) the front suspension! the steering has to much bump, the arms gain camber the wrong direction and have to much anti-dive, and the amount of deflection that comes from crappy stamped steel arms, 4 inch rubber bushings and rear steer, is scary

on the rear the roll steer that comes from a leaf spring car at the wrong height and leaf stiffness is very unpredictable, I spent a long time working the leafs i had on my car(theres no set formula it all depends on ride height wheel diameter, etc, every cars a little different and even just a 1/4 of an inch changes the characteristic of the car) that is why a sway bar helps, really, think about, no roll, no roll steer, but you didn't fix the screwed up geometry you just masked it, a link rear has a set axle arc, so you design it to have a continuous roll steer or NOT its that simple, I could go on for a while you know that Clinkster (yes I remember you) I think both David Pozzi and I were talking with you about suspension
