    I am trying to build a sort of good handling daily/drag cougar build on a budget.

    I have a 67 std with a 302, pretty bare bones. I put 620 coil springs on the front, and notice that around corners around 60-70 mph, it seems the stress from the front end is transferred through the unibody to the rear (They feel horribly mushy)...The rear leafs are shot anyway (1 inch lean to...
