Re: Edelbrock Touring Suspenion kit

I think Edelbrock bought the Hotchkis tooling.Since Hotchkis stopped producing components for our 3rd gens.....bastards!Not saying Hotchkis is bad.Ive got alot of there $hit on my 84, but Im guessing these are the same thing built to the same specs.

Re: Edelbrock Touring Suspenion kit

I have the lower control arms and panhard rod from that kit on my car. I don't think you need the new sway bar because the stock sway bars on the IROC's were solid depending on the year and the correct diameters. Nor do I think you need the springs either I.M.O because according to Herb Adams, the spring rate doesn't change over time and your stock springs will settle over time to the correct "lowered" height through natural sagging-or something like that. Go to the library and take out his book Chassis engineering.

What is worthwile is getting polyurethane bushings, especially the endlinks for your stock sway bars (pick any company, I used energy suspension) and nylon bushings from Global West (sorry, that's the only people I could find that still made nylon bushings for our cars) for your front lower Control Arms.

I would recommend Edelbroks lower control arms because they used Spherical ball assembly with Delrin bushings and I only got the adjustable panhard bar from Edelbrock because it was recommended. The trailing arm I can't tell you from experience, but that was next on my list. Also, I would recommend getting new shocks. With that setup, my car rode a lot stiffer, probably because of the shocks, but it did bite better and i no longer had as bad wheel hop issues with the lower control arms when I floored the throttle.

Also, autocrossing in the rain with this setup I din't have wheel hop issues starting and it took more to break the car loose in the turns.

I would assume by your sig that you have Ground Control weight jacks? The stance is almost perfect IMO.
