There are a three reasons why we built a rotating spring pocket.
First: A lot of people cut the coil spring to obtain a desired ride height. When you cut the spring, it will no longer line up in the lower arm or upper frame mount. In some cases this can cause the spring to make noise rubbing on the edge of the pocket. The spring cushion solves the rubbing issue and rotating it provides a way to re-index the spring.
Second: The spring will be indexed properly around the coil. Most tubular lower control arms have a flat plate that the spring sits on. There really is no index. This places a lot of load at the very end of the coil spring rather than on the full coil. Over time, this will fatigue the coil spring and sag may occur.
Third: Ride height adjustments can be made by shimming under the spring pocket.
These Global West lower control arms feature the following:
Front Sway Bar (1-1/8) #SB-883
What is a sway bar?
This 1-1/8 inch solid sway bar kit includes: endlinks and frame bushings with brackets.
What is a sway bar?
Sway bars are tuning devices but they do not make up an entire suspension. Suspension geometry, springs, shocks, tires, wheel combinations and driving styles all affect cornering capability and should be addressed accordingly.
Cars with poor handling at high speeds generally have a lot of corner entry understeer. This is generally due to using too soft of a front spring rate. Large sway bars are now installed to reduce body roll and understeer. However, the vehicle will still have some understeer.
So what do you do? The consensus would be to install a rear sway bar. The rear sway bar will reduce body roll but will also reduce the amount of traction at the rear. Less traction at the rear allows the car to rotate after the apex (oversteer). The bigger the rear sway bar the less traction during corner exit you will have.
Our approach is different. We fix the geometry in the front and make the car turn into the corner, so traction isn't reduced in the rear. Depending on the front-end’s capability, installing a rear sway bar in some cases will give the car less grip in a corner.

QA-1 Adjustable Front Shocks #QTS-507
Front 1" Drop Small Block Springs#S-13
Global West Suspension small block front springs lower the cars ride height about one inch from factory stock.
The springs fit 1964, 1965, 1966, and 1967 Chevelle, El Camino, and Monte Carlo applications. The ride is smooth and the car takes bumps easily without harshness. Body roll is also reduced to where the car is much nicer to drive on mountain roads. Global West increased the spring rate slightly over stock and based on the response from customers this spring is what should have been installed on the car from the factory.
