Ive had my 67 LeMans on the road now for almost 17 years and have decided to do some more upgrades. 455, 5 speed tremec and 3.73 gears. All street driven with a drag race track run about once a year. Power wise, I can hang with mid 12 sec cars from a rolling start. My launch technique needs work. (-:

I have already lowered the car 1" front and 2" rear with springs, poly bushings, a front 1.25" front sway bar, KYB shocks, and a "Jeep grand cherokee" steering box. 225/50-15 and 275-60-15 tires on 7" and 8" rally wheels.

I would like to add boxed or tubular control arms with a sway bar in the rear and add a "sc&c stage-2 plus" tall ball joint kit for the front.

I like the stance of the car now and want a taller tire in the front to fill out the wheel well. With the sc&c kit i can add an inch to the tire diameter and get it back with using the tall lower ball joint, ....and....get better handling. Win-win.

Not sure about what I need for the rear control arms. I think it would be good to go with a lower arm with poly bushings on both ends and an upper arm that's adjustable with a poly bushing and a johnny joint. Do a 1" rear sway bar, but... in the stock style or upgrade to more modern axle mounted style?

The last thought was about the anti-hop kits that raise the upper arms axle mounting point, and also the style that lowers the lower control arms axle mounting point. I know these are drag race items, but do they do anything positive for the handling side of things?

Please critique my choices and thoughts. This seems like a pretty easy formula that many have probably followed.

Thanks, Tyler
