Hey there. New to this forum so forgive the ignorance. What's the deal with JVAB? He's some sort of suspension fab god right? Here's a question. I've got a car that's known for having notoriously weak struts in front and not the strongest spindles either. It's RWD. Oh, and it's also got drum brakes on all 4 too.

Think it's possible to fab up a rally suspension that mounts to the stock mounting points but'll survive a few yumps and has disk brakes from something fairly common to find parts for? Any idea on the cost of doing something like this?

Try this. He may be out of touch for a few days with all the storms in the Pacific northwest.

Yeah, I've checked that out. Honestly it's rather confusing. Plus, I'm fairly sure noone has ever done the type of car we're working on before so I bet it's going to be something pretty custom. Thanks though.

Well...JV loves the telephone. If you need to talk to him, I'd suggest dialing the number on that link between 9am and 9pm Pacific time.

The website is really just a picture archive, he hasn't had a ton of interest in getting anything more elaborate out there. It does give some ideas of what he's been working on.
