thanks for the info , ill order a control arm bushing kit, after looking at the bushings you are very right... they are definitly shot. by what you guys said i should be ok with this suspension, my car will run in the 13.0-13.3 range with the problem im having if it hooks i would expect high 12's so i wont be pushing any barriers for the stock suspension. would letting all of the air out of those bags tell me if they are contributing to the problem? or with a rebuilt suspension will they help ( ive been told to just keep air in the passenger side bag to compensate for the motor torking the rear end on that side). another question, right now the wheels on the car are those old mag style 5 oval holed ones, ive never really cared for them i want to go with ralleys or the cragar s/s in a 15x5 or 6 in the front and a 15x 8 in the rear, theres a 70 el camino running around in my town that has 295's stuffed in the rear on the standard ralley wheels, they are definitly wider than 8's though.. how would i fit those under the rear? oh ya one more suspension question while im at it, i want to lowe the car while keeping a rake, what springs are reccomended? if i let the air out of the bags in the back it gets pretty low but i dotn want to do that if they might help later on with traction, but if they will hinder it either way ill keep them deflated and just get some nice front springs.. sorry for the newbie run on questioning.. attached is a pic of my car, thanks for the help guys
