Critique my Suspension plan
First things first. What have you done to stiffen the chassis? Installing a complete chassis stiffening kit like the one US Cartool sells and making sure any corrosion in critical areas is repaired is a reasonably good start. A full roll cage is even better. You can also fab up your own Monte Carlo bar to help reduce cowl shake and flex too.
Once you have a nice stiff chassis, then build your suspension. I don't like cars that are too low either, as I drive mine on the open road and like having some ground clearance. There are very few people out there that can keep up with my old A-Body on the open road. There are plenty of cars out there that should be able to blow me away, but from my experience, most people that own those cars can't drive them.
