  1. I agree, after much research. I plan on replacing the spings , shocks and front bushings along with changing the front drums to rotors. I also plan on replacing the back control arm bushings and doing a bearing rebuild on my differential. I'll be pulling the motor to tackle the leaky oil pan and while I'm at the 4 speed will get a rebuild as well. Starting in the new year and should be completed by summer. I have one question. I'm thinking that since I'll be doing alot to the rear differential I would just unbolt one end of each control arm and drop the whole axle assembly and then unbolt the arms from the differential on the bench. Does anyone have any thought's, gotcha's or tricks regarding removing the complete axle assembly? Thanks,
  2. Has anyone installed a hydraulic clutch assembly on a 66/67 GTO? Any thoughts?
  3. I was thinking that the front brake conversion was the first thing I'd tackle, I have no experience with the shock coilovers. Do you happen to have any pics of when you did the swap? I started to look into the lower coils when I noticed that you can get a lowered rotor conversion, I was hoping for advice as to which is better, also I didn't want to lower the front with lowering the back at the same time. Thanks, By the way do you know of anyone who converted to a hydraulic clutch on a 66/67? This is also in my bucket list.
  4. I am looking to improve the drive-ability of my 67 GTO and was hoping for advice. I have a 400 -4speed with drum brakes all around and original type suspension. Ten years ago I replaced all the body bushings, front /rear suspension bushings, shocks and rear springs and after my motor rebuild I also put power steering in. Suspension is in working order and I have new tires on the car but it tends to be more floaty on the road then I'd like. I'd like to get the suspension stiffened up as much as I can without going for broke as I knew just replacing with original wouldn't improve the drive-ability but now I am looking to do that. My budget is is around $2000 which I know is not a lot, I have been reading the forums and searching for information and figured it was time to ask for advice. I am thinking about new lower front and rear springs, shocks, and at least a front rotor conversion and possibility replacing the front sway bar and maybe adding a back bar? From what I researched I can do these modes myself for about what I am thinking about spending. Any thought's are greatly appreciated! Thanks, Stephen
