    • BUILD STORY

  • The first step was to install a Total Cost Involved front subframe, which is fairly straightforward, but Neil likes his cars low. Very low. He’d had cars with air suspension but was never 100-percent satisfied, so he planned to build the Nova really low, with a static stance. To achieve that, he raised the mounting points of the TCI subframe a couple inches before bolting it in place, kind of channeling the unibody assembly. In the end, he achieved the stance he wanted, but it led to other modifications such as packaging the engine and accessories lower, not to mention raising the transmission tunnel. As far as the rear suspension, he also installed a TCI torque arm setup, which he also raised an inch in the car. With the adjustable coil-overs at all four corners, he got the car to sit right – and ride great. They stay stance is everything, and as you can see, the Nova does have a great stance, so all the extra work was worthwhile. Read more at Goodguys/fuelcurve link
