nice how are you gonna beef up the front suspension to account for that weight or are you going to do a solid suspension

Yes, there will be solid suspension on front and back for this car.

^^^ Try removing the rubber mounts right underneath the A-Arms if they are still there. It should cut right out.

Get some 1" or 2" square tube and cut out 2" or 3" pieces and spread your springs out and put 3 or so pieces in there or how ever many ur aloud. and weld em in, thats what we do and it works great. and they don't fall out if they are welded in good. just like the twist in ones, except they're welded

It stiffens up the front pretty good and gains height also.

we take the front shock out and the rubber spacers out and run a bold thru where the shock was and put a plate on top. gives the height and stiffens the front where it wont bounce at all

ya not much work at all. the worst part is if you have an older car and the top nut wont come off. but even then you can use torches to get it off. gm's its easy to do. we have an eightys lincoln and personally i think it might be easier than gm's. but yeah its easy and works good. it can get your front end height and really stiffen it up good.

we stiffened the front end on a newer tarus. we just jacked up the front end until the tire was off the ground and welded a piece of metal to the bottom of the shock tube the hole way around. and the same on the rear. we took it thru insppection and they were like shit this is the stiffest compact car we've ever seen. it didnt bounce at all
