About to rebuild my front suspension

[bugedd]

I pulled the front suspension off my extra roller to rebuild and swap, and wanted to get some input. What I am after is sporty, even good enough for a track day perhaps, but a driver also. I have stiffer springs from sprigetmania already. I was going to have World Wide rebuild the shocks, then do urethane bushings. And the A-arms have brackets welded on for a sway bar, I just need to find a big one.
Any suggestions on my direction?

I just did this last year on Bugsy my '68. Recommendations would be to replace the fulcrum pin bushings if the fulcrum pin moves in there at all. This is the biggest wear point on a Spridget. Sounds like you already have later A-Arms so maybe you are lucky and this has been replaced already. Fulcrum pin bushings need to be brazed in. I obtained a set of threaded bushings from Apple Hydraulics and I think Winner's Circle sells also. My MAPP gas torch would not generate enough heat to unbraze the bushings so I packed A-Arms off to Apple and they redid both bushings. Peter at WW Imports reamed the Kingpins for me so new bushings fit. That along with Major Surpension Kit and Bugsy handles like a slot car now. Total cost for all parts and pieces and vendors just about $500.

Feeling is unless on the track don't go for urethane, too stiff for the street. Don't forget to take care of the rear shocks as well. Adding Peter's Shocks all around made a huge difference in handling. A new pinion gear, cheap for a BE helped tighten things up as well. Ask the list you ought to be able to find a stock sway bar from someone on this list who is parting out a Spridget.
