Photoguy,
I rebuilt my MGB front end a few years back with all eurathane bushings and replaced the lever shocks because the bushing were very worn. I made mounts for a KYB tubular shock (designed for the rear of an early Corvette). After spending a lot of time getting the bumpsteer worked out, it handles much better and I can aim it precisely, now.
The drawback to this is that the steering rack boots rub on the shocks and they don't last very long. I just had the 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo rotors turned and I don't think there's enough material left to turn them again. I was able to buy new 1974 Dodge Dart calipers, but don't think I will find them again, either.
So being a "do-it-yourself" kind of guy with two kids in college, Tom's 'Vette upgrade seems the best choice. However there seems to be a lot of engineering skill required. How did you fabricate the brackets?
Buzz, the Unique upgrade sounds the easiest, but there is no mention of the part available on their website. How did you order it and what kind of price ballpark is this in?
Paul
