I just picked my car up from having a front end rebuild with a deluxe kit, new ball joints, tie rod, idler arms, etc. VBP 460 springs were added too. The front end feels a lot better after having those 30 year old parts replaced. Speed bumps actually feel less harsh with the front end rebuilt, thanks to Dragon Breath Performance. (Kind of wonder if I should have tried the 550's.)

My front sway bar is slightly bent,

I'd like to know what sway bars I should go with for mountain twisty turns, front and back?
Which rear spring would allow best corning performance and not interfere with future wide meats in the rear (I really like the stance of Swede's car with those fat tires).
I'm going to tackle this job myself.

If you or anyone else is interested I have a factory 1-1/8 front bar that has been modified for heim joints and a stock 9/16 rear bar with mounting hardware. e-mail DIRECT for more info. redvetracr@msn.com

Check out my sig. The setup I have on my 81' is probably what you want. I run the car on mountain roads in Wyoming and it feels a world better with the VBP kit than it did stock. I drive by feel more than by speedo, and the car feels real good taking curves marked 45 mph at 65 or 70. I can keep up with a couple of 94's and one C5 pretty well on our runs.

I have 1.125 in front and .75 in back with 460 fronts and plastic VBP in back (dont know pounds) also KYB shocks and my car turns on a dime but is still a bit bumby and hard on bad roads.

Front: w/ 460 springs - 1 1/8" stabar, poly end links, Bilstein Sport shocks
Rear: TRW 330 monospring, 5/8" stabar, VB Smart Struts, Bilstein Sport shocks.

You will need some wide sticky tires to get max results from this setup.
