Scufty,
I'm in the same boat. I am burning what's left of my Butler Budget on an engine rebuild (doing a lot of that recently) and a "body off" resto with a guy who doesn;t charge a lot and who has won several car shows. He's also a former engine-builder. So, if my new (unused) Butler front end is less than desirable, I am going to be stuck with it. I'm not racing the car and am simply going to put some long miles on it. Ron DID recommend the rear anti-sway to go with the giganta front one. He also set up my Aldens. The car still sucks up bumps without a bother, but is a lot less "tilty". I have NOT tried it with the rear anti-roll bar yet.

I'll keep posting as time rolls by and my car nears completion. Boy! The previous owners had a) built it wrong and b) not done any improvements on it---even to the point of maintenance! I'm in the midst of a "rescue" job. It'll be A-1 when we're done though.

I would STILL like to hear of what the Corvette or Unique fronts do to/for the handling, however.
