Finally getting around to doing my suspension. Energy Poly A-arm bushings QA1 with 350/400# Eibach springs and Birdman paperweights. Thicker sways bars with heim links and poly bushings. New tires all around-- BFGOODRICH G-FORCE SPORT COMP-2 --(225/50/16), (245/50/16). Stainless braided brake lines while we're in there. Found two bad ball joints so doing those too. Everything else looks great. Thanks to John White, Greg Owens, and Mike Tuason for the parts!!! Pictures to follow...
Oops. You're right. Mike Tuason had the bars made at a hot rod shop. I think he had some Saner bars they copied.
You also need: QA1BUSH Shock Adapter Bushings, Varishock & QA1 - 4 wheel set from: Unobtainium Supply Co.—HOME. Good luck with your project!
Thanks Verrell, The shocks have them. These are shocks/springs which where already assembled with the paperweight and bushings. I got them from Greg Owens.
Eric, I may drop by and check on Chris's progress on your car this week...he told me to bring the Scud by so he could check it out.
Well I would have preferred to install the bushings on my car but since that didn't happen I'm glad they are finally being put to good use!! Sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun with all those improvements.
@etip I'm about to do mine. Where did you source everything? Any concerns about the "squeak" from the poly?
Download my QA1 white paper from here: Unobtainium Supply—SUPPORT It should answer most of your questions. To the best of my knowledge, no one has reported problems with 'squeaks' from the poly bushings on 3x8s, either the QA1 eye bushings, or the suspension bushings.
Verell, thanks for posting that. I got most of my stuff from friends who had parts or bought used. Mike Tuason had my sway bars made. You could reach out to him and see if he can haveore made. They are REALLY nice.
