What's Your Stand On Stance?!

It's F8 green with an F6 green interior. It was originally an F8 interior, so now it's a little mix of both...

Adjust the torsion bars, change the springs, change the tire sizes, lowering blocks, shackles or any combination.
 
oh yeah, the infamous air shocks or their newer cousin air bags.

Ok, excuse my ignorance. How do you adjust your stance?

Well, in my case it was SS rear springs, Mopar Performance 0.920 front torsion bars, KYB gas shocks, and 245/60/15 rear tires with 215/65/15 front tires along with torsion bar adjustment to get the front where I wanted it.
 
We in general like rake!! A-bodies look best with some, particularly Barracuda fasbtbacks! JMO!

Don't forget to get an alignment after adjusting the front height :thumbsup:

Absolutely! I adjusted it all, drove it, adjusted again, drove it, and let it all settle in well and then followed with front end alignment once the final settled stance was set where I wanted it.

It's the only way to do it right. :)

Very cool. I like the skinny tire in the front.
My 255 in the rear will be 275 next.
Any disadvantage to having skinny tires up front?

She's not a canyon carver by any stretch. But that's not my thing. That said, we enjoy cruising around town and the occasional jaunt on the highway without issue. Bought her as a street/strip project, so they fit the bill. We'll be hitting the strip once we take care of a few tech inspection items.

And we just really like the look LOL!

Take care,
Pat

That's cool.....I'm not a canyon carver myself.....I hear ya!
I just like how sure-footed mine feels with 15X8's on all 4 corners. ....

as pointed out this is a double edged sword guys,and that Big/Little...Jacked up look can get you in trouble real quick. It will destroy braking and handling.All will be well for regular slow speed driving but will come undone when you have to do something in a panic.I've seen these cars oversteer right off the road at highway speeds on big bends.
..be careful and watch out!
Stock suspensions were inadequate when these cars were new so bigger torsion bars,stock height or lower,disc brakes,stiffer springs and at least new shocks...then horsepower.

I know many members aren't going to like it but I prefer the "PISSED OFF" stink bug look of the late 60s early 70s:

And I don't need a super low profile jack to get the car high enough to get a regular jack under the frame....I just lay on the ground and slide under the car to do any work!!
