Hey I'v'e got a 67' coupe. Dropping a 331 in and I should have close to 380-400hp at the crank. Rear-end is done and I have front disc brakes. What are essential suspension mods for traction? I've seen packages for around 400$ that come with sway bars, springs and shocks. Some suggestions would help as this is the first suspension upgrade I'll have ever done.

starting at the rear, i would use a 5 leaf spring with either traction masters under ride bars, or cal tracs. one more thing, add a 3/4" rear bar.

at the front i would use the 540in/lb springs with replacement upper arms, roller spring perches, roller bearings in the lower arms, and a 1 1/8" front bar.

of course you will want 4 wheel disc brakes as well.

and dont forget the subframe connectors.

Tell him what you want to do with the car.
He will get you set up anywhere from stock to full race.
Super nice guy too.
