Suspension questions 444-544 1958

Greetings from Florida,

I recently purchased a '58 444, with a B18 engine (SU's) and 4 speed transmission. A sunroof has been added..."way back when", which apparently is pretty rare? She runs pretty well, but stopping is another story.

A cosmetic restoration was done in 1992. Since all the suspension & brake components appear to be original, I need advice/recommendations from the group on springs, shocks, sway bar and brake upgrades. I want to keep the stock appearance, but upgrade the components for a better & safer driving car.

I'll post some pictures in a day or so. Many thanks!

Cheers,

Wayne
