Shnalla Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Anyone can help me figure out what's the best setup to improve the front suspension of my 72 ? Should I go tall upper & lower ball joint or just tall lower ball joint ? Does tall spindles have the same positive effect ? Thanks for the help !

Daryl Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'm surprised no one has responded to your questions yet. About a year or so ago I was going through the same questions myself. I can't remember all the research that I did but I seem to remember that the tall ball joints and tubular a arms will provide the same improvements in your steering geometry. I chose to go with the tubular a arms because that way when the ball joints do go bad I can use stock replacements. The tall aftermarket ones are good bit more money. Plus the tubular a arms look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymouse Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Call mark at SC&C. He was great to deal with. He talked to me on the phone for almost an hour about what was right for me. He wrote the book "how to make your muscle car handle". It was a great read. I went with his tall ball joints and spc adjustable upper arms. I can't wait to install them this fall when it cools off here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes tubular arms looks cool but unfortunately cost a lot more than ball joints Tall ball joints seems to be the best bang for the buck, I 'll start with tall ball joints & poly bushings on my stock arms.
