Super good info!
I was looing at Hals for the front, because I like that the fronts replace the shock AND spring and turns it into a wanna be coil over to adjust ride height. The longer ball joints sound like they might be the cheapest and easiest route to correct some of the front geometry problems. I am very suprised the C5 brakes have heat up issues that bad... That is why I am a little comcerned with the brakes, Having a car that gets up and moves instantly, I will be going faster between turns which means I will be harder on the brakes, Big time! It was mentioned that the calipers might be the culprit in getting to hot, could a large Brembo, Wilwood, or Alcon caliper solve that? Or does it partly come down to rotor size? It might help me a little that I have 315's in the rear... I am getting away with quite a bit of break bias shifted to the rear, that takes a little load off the front brakes!
I was going to try to use a little heavier sway bar to compensate for semi weak springs so I would still have a little more weight transfer, If I take away all the weight tranfer, the car will never hook up and be fairly dangerous. Plus trying to hook up now is a problem. I realize I cannot have the best of both worlds, but I want to try to retain some transfer if possible. Anyone lake the adjsutable BIG BAR type rar sway bar kit for the Chevelle that sets the bar on the rear end? I was looking at some mustang sights that offer them, but most are a tad to short to get the mounts on the frame in the correct spot in the rear.
