> Hi Everyone,   Are there other options to improve the rear suspension swing without upgrading/swapping to a '64 set-up?    Is there an aftermarket solution?  I don't drive hard, but, just considering the improvement for handling.

Eric- Yes, there are a number of things you can do to improve your handling. Put a front anti sway bar on- A major
reason the 64's handle so much nicer than most other earlies is the 3/4" diameter front anti sway bar, not the transverse spring. Also, de- camber- 1 1/2 to 2 degrees negative camber works pretty well on a street car. Also,
consider going to lower profile tires- those three things will DRAMATICALLY improve your cars handling!
