Alright, now that I've got brakes back under the car and the dash back together..its time to start focusing on the next phase of the build:Rear axle/suspension.
I've got another 8.25 sitting on a bench, this one with SG and a set of 3.54's in the cabinet. Im going to have someone rebuild the axle for me, with the gear change being done in the process. To the best of my knowledge, nothing on the rear suspension has been touched since it was new aside from a set of rear shocks (5 years ago). The 5 leaf springs are looking rough, and due to a busted clamp seem to have a negative bend on occasion (hard to explain without a picture). This car does have the sway bar, and the odd shackles as well. I am all for ditching the ISO clamp setup back there, only I've not seen a cheap way to do this. I know Firm Feel sells the delete kit, but Im not in the position to drop Firm Feel kind of money. Are there any alternative ways to accomplish what Im trying to do, or am I just being cheap.
