Hi everyone as I'm getting my 80 Z28 ready for the spray booth I need to replace a few worn out bushings.
First and formost the stock rubber body mounts are shot,I will replace them but with what,money is not an issue I've heard rubber is the cheapest and softest for ride control,polyurethane is very strong and will last but they have been known to squeak which will drive me bannas,finally there are aluminum mounts ultra strong but what about ride comfort. The car has a 60 over 10:75comp-1 sbc010 block xr268 hyd comp cam with matching components, heads are fullyported and polished bronze guides etc,2.02-1.60 5 angle valve job roller rockers rpm intake 800cfm edelbrock carb. The car runs sweet from the moment she fired up m21 4 speed 3:42 out back.
As for the cars overall handling i will remain stock appearance but will putting urethane mounts all over the car help that much,if I'm going to do it it will be done front to back with 1/3/8 front sway bar and rear 1"sway bar stock springs fo my kidneys and I are doing just fine last is the shocks,kyb?koni/Bilstein qa1 monroe sensatrac I want the car to glide over the streets without the chiropracter feeel yet car corners as if it were on skates.
any feedback would be thankfully received and greatfully applied Thanks To All
