I'm hoping for a discussion on suspension. I am working on a frame off nut and bolt resto on a 67 impala. But I cant seem to make a decision on suspension.

I previously built this with off the rack headers in the late 80s. Of course I had no money in HS and now I am going back through everything. The old headers are beat flat from dragging on everything which was my biggest irritant for my car.

Now I cant decide on upgraded stock suspension or to go air ride. I know with a better header and exhaust set up I can still be low but not bottom out as much but the convenience of hitting a button and inceasing ride height would be great.

The car will be a weekend driver approximately 400hp but I fo want it to handle decently which is a challenge for this boat.

My other consideration is cost. I dont want to put soo much into some areas that I have to skimp on others ie. Drive train or paint/interoir. Thoughts anyone?
