front suspension ?
 
what is allowed in stock on a 70 chevelle as far as tubular a arms and bushings abd what are some of you guys doing. I am thinking I will just rebush the front end and take the sway bar off.

Thanks guys

No tubular A-arms, must be stock. I used Del-a-lums on my vette.They are a solid greaseable bushing. 0 deflection.

Yes, you can upgrade the brakes, however I think you are required to use the stock spindles.

When you re-bush the front arms, grind the "teeth" off the inner bushing and don't tighten the bolts on the lowers to the point they grip the inner bushing, that way you'll get no "loading" of the rubber bushings in the travel, if you prefer to stay with an O.E. rubber or urethane type bushings.....I've found that the O.E. rubber bushings are actually more durable in the rear than the urethanes I wasted $$$ on......I now use a 3 piece deal on the rears from a place called HR PartsnStuff, best ones I've had in there so far, not sure if they offer anything for the fronts or not.

Use Global West bushings; there is nothing better than their stuff.
