How to make this Dart Handle?

...

  • Good performance tires as wide as I can get under it.
  • At set of 1.00" or 1.06" Torsion Bars. Probably going to get Firm Feel Bars.
  • Good Shocks (recommendation?)
  • Moog Offset UCA Bushings to improve Caster
  • Front Sway Bar (Hellwig)
  • Rear Sway Bar (Hellwig)
  • XHD Leaf Springs in the back

Thats would be a great bang for the buck street driver upgrade.

Here are a few questions for you:

Since this will never be a road race car would it be worth the money to buy / modify:
  • Tubular UCA's
  • Box LCAs
  • Adjustable Strut Rods
  • 11/16" Tie rod ends and Adjusters
Would I gain any noticable handling improvements that I would see/feel on the road as a DD?

That stuff is on the downslope of bang for the buck. It can all add up to something. But the improvements will be small to feel on the street and not as drastic as what is listed on the first list. Not going to feel a adjustable strut rod, boxed LCA, bigger tie rod end on the street. The moog K7103 bushings will get you to the handling alignment specs.

IMHO, I would not bother with that stuff at this point.

Take the money from the second list and get a Firm Feel Power Steering rebuild, Firm Feel Bilstein shocks, Firm Feel roller bearing idler, or a Firm Feel steering gear support. Or have subframe connectors installed.
