<div dir="ltr"> I put the disks and sway bar on about a year ago.

Your Bugeye does not have a 1275 yet? Make sure you do the Datsun transmission conversion also. It's a whole different car. Then you will have to upgrade the brakes to disc in the front. Just find the parts from a later square body. The whole brake, spindle and lower a arm just bolt right in. Besides the fact, now you can install a anti sway bar with the lower a arms with the holes for it. It's tons more fun and does not reduce the value of the car.
