Default Frt.suspension

Any pros or cons about poly or rubber bushing , PST sus.parts, or what brand frt springs to use. I put 4 different kinds of springs in a friends Chevelle and wound up using springs from Eaton to get the right height. Some companys are listing small block with ac the same sprimg as the big block but not a different one for a big block with ac. Thanks

I schmidt canned my whole suspension, and went with adjustable Auto Cross type, no coils.
All of the bushings are poly, and came with the package. If they're good enough for Auto Cross, their good enough for me!

Wow! Is that clean? That looks great, and nice touch with the red too.
Are those chrome brake pads? PG
