Suspension Upgrade

What's up everyone.. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction..

I have a 383 Stroker that will be pushing in the range of 575 to 600 hp, and approx 525 lbs torque. It will be going into my 87' Z28, hardtop. Looking to probably go with 4.11 rear.

The suspension is stock right now, and obviously it needs to be changed.

Does anyone know of any rebuild kits, that include "everything"? Something where I can basically remove the original and bolt in the new..?

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks,

Lou

Re: Suspension Upgrade

Hey Lou. We just built an '85 Z28 with all our stuff on it.

Do you have access to Facebook? There are a ton of photos of it on there under UMI Performance.

Re: Suspension Upgrade

All places sell their components seperately. I have pieces on my car from, whoever gave me the best deal. Granted the parts I have swapped out are pretty similar between all manufacturers. The big three, Spohn, BMR, and UMI all have the major components needed in one location. I have UMI and BMR on my car now and both are good quality and would buy from them again.

Are their particular parts you are looking for? For steering Moog, though rockauto.com will probably be the best price. For PHB, LCA, LCARB, torque arm, SFC, STB, etc. you cannot go wrong with UMI.
