I was looking around and found that Southwest Speed has a complete suspension/rear kit for A-body cars. I was planning on replacing all this stuff anyway, so it might be nice to have the complete kit. I was wondering if anyone has opinions about their parts, or about this specific set in general? Thanks guys!
Unless you really want the 9” rear, I would say pass. That kit does have a lot of nice stuff, but its not a complete kit. It’s missing rear control arms, sway bars, springs and steering linkage. I think you can buy everything individually and also include the missing items for the same money. And you would have more options to what you want/need for your build instead of being limited by what’s in the kit.

I do need a new rear as from what I've read the stock rears we have couldn't handle nearly 700hp, and I plan on bagging it so no springs. I will check out individual pricing though and see if that's better.
I got a Moser 9 inch in my 64. With the stock 67 400E it's over kill as with the rest of this build at this point. But down the road if I change engines and the converter, the rest will handle it very easily. The suspension is all Hotchkis..Just some thoughts...
