taking turns hard

[adon214]

Well im just starting on my build i plan to make my buick skylark 1972 into a turn taking all around GT style racing car. im only putting 300 hp in it and i am wondering what all i should do to the chassis and suspention? Any ideas guys?

If you want to prevent body roll, then I recommend swapping in a Trans Am 1.25 inch front sway bar with polyurethane bushings in place of the stock front sway bar (also add add boxed rear control arms and a rear sway bar). This made a big difference in my '72 Skylark's taking turns - no more heavy leaning in the corners.

You can probably box the frame like my convertible is from the factory. That will certainly reinforce your Skylark.
