Tightening up the basics
I was wondering where i should start for tightening up my 70' nova's front end. I swapped out the inline 6 for a 305 v8 (FREE heh) and now that i got so much more power/speed, i'd like to tighten up the front end in small increments until i can afford a powersteering setup and a 1 1/8" sway bar. I know beefing up the front will actually tighten up the rear. Which is my problem, I like to get it sideways and what not (in controlled circumstances, of course, show the pesky import kids i can slide too lol) but without powersteering, it's kind of a PITA to get it back straight without loosing an arm or wrist lol. I'm thinking a suicide knob would be a little helpful too. But i was thinking, of adding some poly parts to the front. What should i go with first? When i add a sway bar i'll add poly bar mounts/bushings and end links, but until then, what would be a good addition to give it some more curve-manners. because when it rains, it slides. With 2.73 gears nonetheless. (Oh, also anyone wanna trade a running 95 neon (2.0L SOHC) for a good rearend? heh) Rear coilovers are coming during christmas, and new front springs (thinkin 1" lowering. cuz the front sits quite a bit higher right now thanks to the previous owner adding 10 "spring helpers" in each front spring lol)
Thanks
