Ditto what JLMounce posted - especially the rear bar. I upgraded my '78 WS6 T/A with Global West springs, del-a-lums, frame connectors, and solid body bushings. The rear bar was beneficial to the stock set up, but it created over-steer with the aftermarket stuff.

Also, solid bushings are recommended with sub-frame connectors. If yours aren't solid, you may want to sell them rather than replace them twice.

You could also save a few bucks with a used WS6 front bar. I doubt there would be a noticeable difference between it and the Hotchkiss bar unless you're going full blown pro-touring.

If you want to save a few more bucks, I still have the factory WS6 replacement springs from my restoration. They have less than 8k miles on them. PM me if you're interested.
