For starters I changed the upper a-arms to Shelbys heim adjustable set-up in order to have the caster adjustability. Then I had what I wanted up top but then needed solid bushed lower a-arms to take the potential play and bind out that might be found in the Delron Bushed street suspension. Kirkham and I decided on making a custom set of adjustable heim lower a arms which were exactly what Ken Miles used on one of the comp 289 cars. It worked like a charm and did give me all the adjustability I needed for different tracks. The bump steer was as good as one could get. I also removed the rear sway bar because that caused the car to not let the suspension work and cause the car to snap and want to come around on you. I weighted the front left corner to better balance the car. As for the bakes, they were the originals with better pads and gas relieved rotors while running Goodyear Stock Car Slicks in Cobra sizes. There is lots more....
