OK kids, here's the million dollar question.  I am about to order some
new suspension bits for the Big Block. I need your help in deciding if I
should stick with stock coils and leafs or go with the uprated and
lowered 1" ones. Keep in mind I will have a 95BHP Swiftune Sports Tourer
coupled to a Nissan 5 speed. I have front and rear sway bars, will have
the Frontline Koni front shock conversion and Special Tuning Armstrong
adjustable rear shocks. I plan on replacing all the rubber bits with
polyurethane.

I don't mind a hard ride, the car will be used for fast road and not
racing. I live in a very bumpy, ill maintained network of country roads.
I haven't flattened the exhaust on the Woody yet, but it's only 1 1/4"
in diameter!

What's the verdict?
