I just wanna try to make it look cool and drivable down the freeway not a race car. I just can't afford a tube chassis car or anything like that. Damn that would be cool though. I am missing so many parts to my car that alone is going to coast a lot that's why I'm just getting agame plan going on this thing

If you want to do it on a budget you do not have to go to a coil over system front or rear.
Hotchkis makes a kit for the E-body. Does not require you to convert to coil overs on the front, and still uses leafs in the rear.

Here is their Challenger, the Barracuda has the same suspension. They are running 18s.

QA1 makes a bolt in rear "6 link" coil over system. Their front suspension pieces work with the factory style steering box and factory style torsion bars. There are a few sources for performance torsion bars. Mine are made by "Firm Feel".

Borgeson makes a replacement power steering box that gets rave reviews. It has a solid feel and a 14:1 ratio.
For brakes based on the stock setup, I went with Cass Eslick aka Dr Diff.

I am running his Stage IV front brakes upgraded w/ Baer rotors on the front and his 11.7" rear kit also w/ Baer rotors.
If you must go coil over, one of the better kits out there is made by RMS. There are others, but no others that I would recommend. It has been a while since I did any research on the topic.
