Re: '69 Chevelle
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Damien</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Dan, how will these bars affect handling as far as cornering. They dont look like they would be great for lateral movement? </div></div>
They were never intended to help in lateral movement.....it your looking for something a more aggressive suspension. I highly recommend Detroit Speed. http://www.detroitspeed.com/1964-197...sion-pg-1.html Dan

Re: '69 Chevelle
The car goes to the suspension shop tomorrow and they will come out. They will machine a bush if the rear end has been drilled out and back to standard we go. Don't have a hoist or I would do it myself.
Sorry Dan, just read your post again that tells me it is drilled thru the webbing not the top trailing arm mount. Makes it easier.

Re: '69 Chevelle
Just back from the suspension shop today. Car looks great and in proportion now. I'm pleased to say the no hop bars are gone and we ended up replacing all the shocks, the drivers side rear was totally shot which would explain the spongyness in the rear, rear springs to lower the rear about 2" and put in new Moogs upper trailing arm bushes. It now drives the way it should and has that tough, nose slightly in the air, Chevelle stance. I should have in a few weeks, my new redline radials from Diamond Back Classics, thanks Dan, and the look will hopefully be complete.
Got stuck in a little drizzle on the way home so I didn't have a decent photo op as I was too busy trying to get it out of the weather, so will have some better shots to come.

Nice stance.
Can't wait to see her with new treads. Ryan

Re: '69 Chevelle
My favorite external option on a 69 are bumperettes, rear antenna is a close second.
