This is a great thread for us "original replica owners" (after all Arntz was the first).

I was wondering how your front ends are currently set up. Maybe we can learn something from each others current setup.

I have:

MGB crossmember with stock oilshocks and lower A-arms. Nylatron bushings, stock spindles, 11" Chevy rotors, 4 piston JFZ calipers and HD springs (not sure what weight but they are not stock)

The bushings helped out, JFZ is out of business and I would like to change them out due to they drag at times. I did retro-fit a 1" anti-sway bar, but I broke the one of the aluminum heim joints I use to mount it (probably need steel). But it did help the handling quite a bit however it may have been a bit to stout. Also, I am running 275/50's up front which I feel are to wide and make steering a chore. I will change over to 245's on the next set. I do like your 17" wheels though, Pete.

so how are you setup??

Thanks,
Mike
