A slew of suspension questions.. 1967

[JohnnyK]

Well, the time has FINALLY come after years of stalling where I will be buying a complete suspension kit for my 67 fastback (Provided the priming goes as planned this weekend).. I already have new upper control arms and my old saddles with some poly bushings, so I won't be needing those, but I will be needing everything. I also plan to stick a taurus rack or something else in there, as I don't want to deal with the hassles of rebuilding that old steering box just to have sloppy steering..

1) I plan (well, have already drilled) the 1" lower relocation holes and was going to go with 1" drop springs as well.. What would I need to make the car level.. I want this to be a decently performing car and plan to mildly build up an EFI 5.0.. Would I want to go with 5 leaf springs? And would I want mid-eye to level them up?

2) I have 1968 spindles (I don't even know WHY I have them, but I do) and would rather use the cheaper 1968 disc brake calipers.. However, if I order 1967 lower control arms (and I already have the uppers) are the balljoint tapers the same for 67-68? As in, can I just mount everything normally and just stick the 68 spindles in there instead?

3) Everyone seems to have midolyne.. Not poly.. Anyone used this.. is it just a fancier word for 'rubber'? I'd rather not pay more for a similar rubber material just because it's "new technology" (According to some websites).. I know, try to get rubber strut rod bushings, although most places say they have 'softer midolyne' for the strut rod bushings.. (who knows? sigh)..

4) Am I missing anything important here?
Coil springs
Leaf springs and shackles
Front sway bar kit
Rear sway bar kit
Shocks
Coil spring insulators
Strut rod bushings
Lower control arms
Suspension bumpers (did the front have them as well? or just rear)

5) Why does everyone include a sway bar with their kits.. Are they just bigger? I never measured mine..

6) Anyone have miscellaneous ideas? Obviously i'm not going concours.. This car was too far gone, I owe it nothing..

7) On a totally different subject, anyone managed to rig up a rack? I'm not going to pay $2000 for a kit that I only hear horror stories about.. I read a lot about using a taurus rack, but people say they lost a lot of radius.. I don't know how much a lot is though.. Also no tie rods mate up or something.. Some websites just took ones for other cars and cut their own threads.. I don't trust that..

Thanks a lot guys!
