Front suspension

I read over the Charlief1 suspension sticky.
Not real sold on the tubular a arms. I went to the speedway site and they say not reccomended for street use.

So I went on and surfed over there and came up with these.

Will probably get a set of sway bar end links too as they are cheap. Ive been searching for a local camaro 36mm hollow bar but no luck yet.

Any thoughts on solid or urethane bushings. I'm leaning at solid as the down pipe cant melt them but if the urethane dont melt I'm sure they would be better for the street.?

I don't think any really do all that much on the street.  The solid work the best but don't last too long under continuous use.

If you don't want the stock type, I would probably go urethane and hope they don't squeak too much...some claim to be graphite impregnated and might be better.  Urethane deforms less than stock but is still not as precise as the solid style...my experience is that most never run a serious enough tire to be able to see the benefit of the improvement.

I have urethane all the way around.  After 10 years they are getting a little squeeky.

after 75 years, I am a bit creaky

I was just looking for something more durable than the rubber. But the rubber has lasted 100k , but it is shot. And for $8.99 ea those Chinese urethane look like they are next.

These are the PST graphite impregnated urethane
