New upper shock mounts and other suspension goodies.

Gonna be ripping the front suspension apart on the bird soon. I have new (to me, thanks Bonzo) lower control arms with Global West monoball/spherical beariings, new (to me) upper control arms with Strano offset bushings (delrin) and new Koni monoball upper shock mounts. All of this combined should shed some weight, improve feel and input, increase my neg. camber and make for some better handling and probably a rougher ride, but performance is about managing trade offs. I'll more pics up as this stuff goes on the car.

Coming to an autocross near you.....

Nice. I bet it rides better.

Feather-light suspension, Konis just couldn't hold. I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors.

Hey everybody, it's good to have you on the Baba-too-da-ba-too-ba-ba-buh-doo-ga-ga-bop-a-dop
