Any body used the belltech muscle car performance kit? Kinda pricey but with springs shocks and big sway bars seems like it would be worth it if it handles well. Want to do an autox style wagon, think it would blow the local tuner car guys minds to see a big wagon bombing around the course
Wasn't sure if we were allowed to post outside links

Yeah, we're OK with that as long as it is topical and helps the membership.

That seems a bit pricey, but not terrible I guess. A few issues though, that's for a sedan only, the rear bar won't fit the wagons with out aftermarket rear lower control arms (Metco). The springs might not do exactly what you want them to do because of the additional weight on the back side of the wagons.

That's what I was worried about so I had to ask. Any ideas for firmer springs? Don't really wanna drop the front just the rear abit to level it out. Also what are the recommendations for good shocks?

Hotchkis makes a larger variety of parts for these cars and if you are a subscriber to the systems approach it may take plenty of guess work out of the process as well.
You didn't mention suspension bushings. If you want a corner burner you cannot leave the old factory rubber bushings in place. Energy Suspension or Performance Suspension Technology will have polyurethane bushings for the front & rear.
