tripower455, You have s/w springs on your car in the picture? I like the way your car sits. I will not be racing my car.(Maybe at some lights) I really do not need to worry about launch.

Who sells good Poly or rubber bushings?

Yeah, I have wagon springs in the back, but I negelcted to mention that my front is quite a bit lower than stock, due to the Hotchkis uppers/Fbody spindles, so it aggravates the issue. Another guy here in town has a '66 with stock front springs, and wagon rears, and the car sits perfectly, IMHO.....

I got my polygraphite bushings from PY about 8 years ago, but they are avaiable all over the place. You just have to determine whether you have round or oval bushings in you front lowers before ordering. Mine were oval, FWIW.....

This is what I want for my 66 gto.

I have 255/60 BFGoodrich tires on 15x8 cragar ss rims with 5" backspacing.

I WANT to get s/w springs from Eaton.

I will need taller shocks beacuse of the springs.

I will also need new bushings (I have not decided on poly or rubber)

The front will be upgraded but not really in height.(next project)

Question:
Will I need to change my pinion angle with this setup?

How do I do this to eliminate wheel hop?

p.s. Shadowbox, are there any GTO clubs in Nebraska?
