Thanks for the info. I did get to call IPD and they only have the front upper control arm bushings in poly and then they do have the rest in rubber though. I will call Vpd soon and see if they have any stock left. If anyone has any other possible sources, let me know.
I'm still pondering the idea of at least a front coil-over setup and maybe some adjustable spring perches in the rear. I have not found much info on anything
other than stock suspension on the 140's. I know these cars were great rally cars back in the day as well as great vintage racers. There must have been some better suspension modifications aside from bilstiens and springs(although I'm not knocking that combo..)for more serious control and handling. Any input or ideas appreciated.thanks..
