Best suspension.. 79... Tein?

i have a 79 and am looking for one of the best coil over system.. i was wondering if Tein made a setup for the 79? i dont want to do a brake upgrade.. it there any possible way to do this without having to replace the drum brake? what is the best setup i can get.. coil overs all the way.. thanks.

Tein doesn't have anything for a 79 that I know of.

I have Ground Control, but there is also G-Force.

if you're looking for the "best" setup for your car head over to these guys...
http://www.gforceengineering.net/

most of the big named coil-over folks don't make sheit for our cars... We don't spend enough to make it proitable...

There are a couple of pictures of my car with the front lowered on GC coil overs on my webpage.
