When it arrived at the shop it was obvious it needed some suspension upgrades, a ride height adjustment and some fatter meats. We knocked out the first two on the first round of the build. After dropping out the stock suspension, we installed our
Road Assault front suspension, including our tubular upper and lower control arms, tubular sway bar, billet adjuster sleeves, and Viking hybrid double adjustable coilover shocks. Keeping the stock spindles we added 13" rotors with 6 piston Wilwoods. Out back we installed our
Torque Arm suspension with the car's 12 bolt rear, and topped it off with 4 piston Wilwoods surrounding 13" rotors. The original exhaust consisted of exhaust manifolds through 2.25" pipes, so to help things breathe better we wrapped it up with a set of our stainless headers and stainless custom 3" duals. All these changes made a tremendous difference in handling and braking, and helped squeeze a few more ponies out of the 383. With the new suspension also came getting the ride height where it needed to be.
