How Do You Decide Which Company To Use. What Determines What Makes One Better Than The Other? Name And Price? I Would Not Know The First Thing About What Makes One A Arm Better Than The Other.

Here's another one to throw at you, DSE!

If I do a '70 Chevelle pro-tour, it will be with DSE all the way. Not to say the others mentioned are bad, just personal preference. GOOD LUCK!

Buy the parts from someone that has the knowledge like Mark Savitske. You can do your own research to see who has built cars like yours and made them handle, then get the parts from them and the advice to go with it. I don't think there is anyone that would say mark doesn't know what he is talking about so give him a call.

It totally depends on what you want to do with it and how much you are willing to spend. I would look into Speed-techs track time package with ATS spindles. For brakes I would go with Z06 corvette front and rear. This is if it fits your budget. I currently have a 1970 GS with ATS spindles, SPC upper and lowers Vari shocks with baer 6P front and rear. Rear has a custom built 3 link with coil-overs. I feel that the speed tech set up I described will perform every bit as good and be easier on the pocket without cutting up the rear.
