Default Need Upright/Spindle Information, ++++

To All:

I am currently planning on using the stock spindle with the Howe Tall Upper Ball Joints. The Brakes will be Wilwood Radial Mount Design (No Caliper offset, like Original Disk Brakes) Global West UCA, Hotchkis Sway Bar, ATS Steering Box, Penske Double Adjustable Shocks. Wheels will be 17X8, 3.75 Offset (I think) Tires will be 245X45X17. Full Cage. LD 3-Link. 17X12 Wheels 315X35X17 Tires. Spax Double Adjustable Shocks in Rear. Weight Jacks on all 4 Corners. Original cleaned up and re-wielded SubFrame.

What are my choices for the best handling Performance Given these Parameters? (Other than Driving Lessons)

Is there a particular Spindle that one would recommend that would work instead of the original?

My Guess is, I am pretty much set as far as suspension is concerned, however is there is something I have over looked that would make a big difference what would it be?

I plan to move the engine rearward as possible without destroying the firewall and dash, and saving weight where I can. Engine is a worked over LS3, behind it is a Tremec 3550, 5-Speed.

Does anyone make a subframe that I can Run the parts I have, would be lighter, and allow for some Large Front Wheel/Tires? (295-315 Range)

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal
