the rides not to bad considering its all solid linked suspension. Not really setup up for great handling no front sway bar and a locker outback but it makes for a decent cruiser with the drag radials and the 4.10 it hooks real hard and throws you right back in the seat

great install .... my S60 (spool/4.10's) & CM-DS has been on order for 1-1/2 weeks through Carl at CRP. I am still thinking about my suspension though.

Spohn's drag sway? Was it a direct bolt-on to the sway mounts that Strange welded on?

Spohn's T/A? Did you go trans or chassis mounted T/A?

SFC's?

Love the coil overs, but I don't think those will be in my budget for a while.

I have been considering the weld-in mount BMR T/A, but for my high-6's/mid-10's goal, a bolt in T/A setup may do fine.

Keep us posted on the track times.

The ta is a chassis mount I've had the same one on my past three cars and haven't had one issue I know plenty of people are running them into the 10's no problem. For sfc's I went with the slp 3 points so they would tie into the torque arm mount just for some added security.Lastly the swaybar is a direct bolt in they do recommend welding the endlink supports to the frame as well as bolting them.

So far I have put about 60 miles on the car with everything together. I have only gotten on it hard once and it is definately a different animal I am getting use to the locker clicking around the turns other than that it's awesome. I just hope the 4.10's won't be to much when the blower goes on down the road.

OP ... Thanks for the information. I have thought about the 3-point SFC for the same reason, but, a boxed 2-point is less expensive and I am not sure if the benefits are worth it.

60 miles and you are already getting on it? ... remember, Carl said 250 mile break-in ... lol! How much rwhp are you shooting for with the blower? I presume your are talking about a centrifugal supercharger when you say "blower" and not a roots style supercharger.

By the way, I am originally from Hanover about 45 minutes to the southeast from Newton.

Briansf, I decided on the 3 point connectors after seeing a few posts from people ripping the floor where the ta crossmember bolts in. I'm shooting for around 550-600 rwhp with the procharger and stroker iron block. Thats funny that you are from hanover I've spent lots of summers down in marshfield with my family. Thanks everyone for all the props and if anyone needs any info. just let me know
