That front suspension works fine. With better parts available now it would be even better. Our combo back in the day was Koni's, factory HD coil springs chopped to fit, 75-81 TA sway bars, new bushings and firewall bars. Several Solo II cars with this simple package did very well, Koni's painted gray of course. That's with rubber bushings and no frame connectors. (well a cage but you know)
The goal is to keep it running.
If you are serious about wanting to keep it under budget let me know.
We built this one with a serious budget in mind.

You would pee a little if you found out how much the rear suspension cost to build.
