Gotcha, thanks. I don't weld so I'll have to get someone to do it for me.

It wasn't that bad. Are you running subframe connectors? If not I'd highly recommend them.

No I wish I was. Maybe one of these days. Now that we have our new Corvette I'm gonna go more race car than street car for my TA. I'm in more of need for a new sfi balancer than anything else right now. I've gone through 2 Prof Prods balancers so I'm gonna go with a much better one this time.

Let me know how it works out, I think my balancer is going. I want to try something new myself.

Herb Adams VSE adjustable. Great shocks with 3 settings. SUMMIT used to sell them but unfortunately they have been discontinued for a few years now.
Don't know who produced them for VSE but they are an excellent shock.

Konis is what I put on my '77 & '78. Had the KYBs on the '77 but they were so stiff that the car rattled everytime we hit a bump. Much smoother with the Konis.

Running AFCO Street Stock Shocks all the way around. Running even valvings side to side. They're the circle track race shock for the street stock circle track classes. The yellow Bilsteins are also a great choice.

I have Herb Adams brand new in the box. They are blue and not adjustable. Are they any good?

NO NO they are junk. Just PM me for my address so you can send them to me to properly dispose of them JK they are probably great for handling but not so much for drag racing.
