    I'm stripping my 50 for a chop and paint and want to rebuild my front end while I'm at it. I don't want to subframe it or use an exotic front end just rebuild what I have to stock or better than stock performance. My only plans right now are disc brakes and flipping the uprights to lower her. Any suggestions on vendors for bushings, springs, shocks, swaybars, ect would be greatly appreciated. Also any tricks and upgrades are welcome too. I want the best handling front end possible with a little bit of drop.

    Thanks,
    Primo

    I used a bushing kit from Kanter on my Galaxie and was pretty happy with it.

    This looks interesting but is it worth it? How much better does it handle than the old kingpin set up is it?


    Thanks,
