First step is done. 4 leaf spring set from a US supplier by the name of Team Blitz. The car has a full poly bush kit.

I guess the second step is done too. Koni yellows

I guess my motivation for this is a bit of wow factor. I know I could build a fairly indestructible rear axle with a pan hard bar for lateral movement.

The car is not a drag car. It's a street car that will eventually do some fun time road racing and autocross. Nothing serious or overly competitive. I've been to the 1/4 mile track with it but it's not really my thing.
