7. Subframe and Frontend
My plan for the frontend is to have about a 2" drop with Global West tubular control arms and QA1 coil over shocks. I haven't decided on brakes yet, but I am considering a Wilwood, Baer, or Stainless Steel Brakes Corp. disk setup. At the moment, I am leaning towards the SSBCs.
10/22/06: Front upper and lower tubulars are here as well as the QA1 shocks. I also ordered POR15 to do the subframe. I hope to get started on the subframe this week.
10/26/06: Stripped the subframe.
11/5/06: Subframe restored with POR15: Marine Clean, Metalready, 2 coats of POR15, 2 coats of TieCoat Primer and 2 coats of Glossy ChassisCoat.
11/10/06: Global West upper and lower tubular control arms, QA1 coil over shocks, and Wilwood brakes installed. Brakes are 4 piston calipers with 10.75" slotted and drilled rotors.
11/16/07: Front sway bar installed. Up next, the steering gear (it will coated with Eastwoods cadmium spray kit to match the sway bar).
