Given that we have somewhat of a reputation for C-10's with tidy handling, this one will be no different...

As mentioned, this will be getting our FAST TRACK C-10 chassis (More info HERE) with 9" rear and Strange rear axle and gears.

And to perfectly compliment the FAST TRACK chassis, our RS by Penske double adjustable coilovers...

and stopping duties taken care of with 6 piston Wilwood's up front and 4's on the rear.

I scrolled down to the chassis and I just stare at it shaking my head. (In a good way, of course!) Awesome guys!

Is NVH a big concern on a vehicle like this ? I'm curious if you have noticed a problem using solid mounted shocks like that vs a rubber/poly bushing. I felt like using monoball mounted shocks made a noticeable difference in my vehicles, although replacing one end with a poly bushing didn't help that much. Just curious if you thought it mattered.

OTOH I told my shock builder what I was doing and he was horrified - I had just negated any subtlety to his valving.I think he was over reacting.
