    Been reading around on a few other treads at the suspensions people put under the front. . . think I'm gonna grab a few junk yard parts along with the necessary new parts and build a custom front suspension (like I do everything I build((when I get the time to do it)) and was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas they'd like to throw at me.

    what type of suspension and steering are you thinking of building?
    what are you going to be using the car for? daily driver, drag racing, road racing, all of the above?
    there are lots of benefits and short comings to the different types of suspension and steering systems out there. consider what you want to gain from your front suspension and research what design will meet your needs.

    Mostly just a driver but DEFINITELY not sunday driver. . I'm building a pretty stout car that I can take to the track when I want to. Or teach some highschool kid in his dads honda what a REAL car is.

    In my little town most kids put a cold air intake and a coffee can exhaust and think they have a street racer..
