Pro, Super Pro Racers come here for input. Needing front end help. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?243852-Camber-and-Toe
John, While I'm no expert, I don't think that you need a bunch of fancy stuff to reach your goals re your front end. The bump stop is critical, maybe moreso than other things. You will never be able to keep the alignment in check obviously, but you certainly want to minimize the bad things (bump steer, driving left or right, unstable @ high speeds, etc). Check out the video in the link in my signature. Front end has stock spindles, and upper and lower control arms. Brakes are Wilwood, springs Moroso and shocks SA HAL. Very simple. There is 5" of front end lift before it's "wheels up". I've added a rear ARB since then (the TRZ that I sold you wouldn't work with the rear frame mods that someone else did on my car).
Bob, Man, That car has tourqe! I can see a little bit of body roll, where the left tire is going higher. I am wanting my car to go strait ang lower the better. This is exactly what I am doing, stock bench seat and rear. As we speak I am configuring a moly 25.5 cert cage to go around it. My cassis guy wanted me to ask about the front spindels, for camber and toe. He knows about the F body and B body mods but, wanted to know what the buick crowd had in mind? Thanks for any info, John.
The rear ARB will keep your launch level and even. A lot of energy is wasted popping big wheelies, but they sure look cool! I am hoping for some much better 60' times once I get everything sorted out. For your car, I'd be most concerned about limiting front end travel and getting as much caster as possible. But again, I'm certainly in the learning curve myself!
