I'm in the process of doing a frame-off restoration on my 67 GTO convertible. Since the first thing I'm tackling is the frame and suspension I need some input and advice. My plan is to upgrade the suspension and brakes while I have the chance. I'm thinking of going with a complete poly bushing kit and will be buying through Scott at Summit. I'd like the ride to be that of a newer car yet not uncomfortable. Is poly or rubber the way to go? Should I install a set of Moog springs or should I go with another brand? I'm thinking of putting a set of redlines on my 14" Rally II's but might decide to go with mags and a larger diameter mag, possibly 16's.
As far as the brakes I'll be installing power discs up front and probably go with drums in the rear.

What are your thoughts people?

Anybody do a complete suspension job on their A-body that they're real happy with?

Anybody do a complete suspension job that they're Unhappy with?

Sway Bars - Is the stock front one with new poly bushings sufficient? How about the rear bar?

Thanks,
Phil
