Mild suspension upgrades for 68?

[panjandrum]

Just a progress update.

Thanks for the info regarding the caster shims! I snagged a set of those a few days back and they did wonders for highway stability and provide much better "self centering".

They did, however, slightly exaggerate an existing issue for which I've asked for advice in this thread, if anyone cares to look:

I've also had time to play with the handling a bit now, and those coil-overs I put together for the rear have produced a much flatter and better handling car overall. I think I'll take the above advice and (eventually) order the adjustable front sway bar as well, as my rear has not been stiffened considerably but the front has not.

Put a set of the suggested KYB GT2 shocks on the front (turns out this is the same brand / model shock I already had on the rear), and I'm also really liking those. They are a bit harsher on extremely abrupt bumps, but other than that they are smoother and better in every way.

Whats your tire pressure? Pump the fronts up about 3 or 4 lbs more than it says in the gas flap. I usta pull tires right off the bead running the reccommended pressure.
