Well, .89s are quite a step up from my stock 318 bars. That 383 is substantially heavier than a 360. I wanted a firm ride, without rattling my teeth out. As it is, my car is missing 100 pounds of crap on the front nose (original A/C, battery and hardware, P/S, bumperettes plus now it's got an aluminum intake & headers). So I think the .89 is all that I will need to get a good firm ride. The swaybar will make up the difference in the turns.
I'm using a stock, nearly new box. I know it won't be like the FFI unit, but it was too cheap to pass up.
Not sure if the rears are moved in or not. The rear hangers are offset, but it was that way when I got it. I was told it is, but who relocates the hangers on an 8.25 and leaves 2.45 gears in it? Currently it has 15x8s on it. I did rebuild the rear with HD leafsprings, KYBs, and Frimfeel poly bushings. The sway will get added when the axle comes completely out for it's rebuild (3.55s, Suregrip, LPW cover, rear disc kit).
Oh yeah..I got the kit, box plates, steering adapter and torsion seal set from Mancini..best price I could find. One note...I now have two sets of cam bolts, since they didn't list them in the kit, I thought I had to buy them seperate. I won't send them back because of the 15% restock fee. I'm better off selling them local to someone who can use them.
