Suspension setup for 74 Firebird.

So how do you determine what the optimal settings would be? Any suggestions on where to find the WS6 parts other than LS1-tech??

I appreciate all the info so far guys, keep it coming.

Be safe over there. There are some new products coming out soon from varying manufactures. I'm suprised no one has mentioned them. Mark from SCandC knows these cars and can help you get you where you want to go.

I've got a '71 Camaro with LS1, T-56 that I track regularly. I started out with a TVS system, then changed out things as I went along. I now have:

Global West solid subframe bushings and subframe connectors.

TVS front springs, front sway bar.

SC&C upper control arms and tall ball joints.

Global West stage 5 rear springs.

AFCO double adjustable shocks.

AGR fast ratio steering box.

For street: 17x8 front with 245/45 Goodyear F1, 17X10 rear with 285/40 tires.

For track: 18x9 front wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 265/35, 18x10 rear wheels with 295/30 tires.

This combo works very well overall. Not cheap, but not mega dollar either, and does a good job keeping up with the late model 'vettes.

PTAddict,

Any Specific reason you went with the SC&C uppers and what are the benefits of going with the tall ball joints?

How stiff are the Stage 5's?

Thanks,
