[Mgs] Front Suspension upgrades

[Glenn Schnittke]

I must say, I got caster wedges (from Tucker on the cottage industry 
list) for my '67 and didn't find that great of a difference - at least 
not enough to justify the cost of the Costello version. I'm running 
185's on the car.

I've been real happy in the past with a 7/8" swaybar and HD valves in 
the Armstrong shocks. My car is primarily a daily driver, though. You 
might also try some longer lower a-arms.

One thing at a time. If you do all the mods at once you won't have a 
clue what's working and what isn't and what parts are actually working 
*against* each other.
