Front suspension upgrades

I am wanting to buy a new front suspesion kit for my '91 firebird. I am trying to find someone who carries an entire subframe with all the suspension and brakes, that i can bolt in place of my old front subframe. I want to try to get dual a-arm front suspension, and I'll make new inner fenders.

If that is not possible, I would appreciate some ideas to build up my front suspension for good cornering at high speed.

Re: Front suspension upgrades

not going to happen. neither will double a-arms unless you are a very good fabricator and can graft a 4th gen front end in.

Re: Front suspension upgrades

Then what might be some good front suspension mods to get better handling? I rebuilt my front suspension and steering, but it still doesn't corner as good as i want.
