Rms alterkation track width?

well guys. I have saved up a bit of money and am on the verge of either starting a new stroker motor (470cid. b block) or going to an aftermarket front suspension. I love the RMS stuff and have heard nothing but stellar reviews. My main concern is the track width of the alterkation front end. i currently have the 73+ spindles and the RMS upper arms and struts rods on my car. I am running the cordoba rotors with wilwood calipers. I have a set of 17x7 wheels with 4.75 bs. on the car now and they fit perfect and were not cheap. I am not going to be buying new wheels. I thought i read someplace that the RMS track width was slightly wider then stock? anyone have any input? Also curious how the manual rack would compare to my current manual steering box. Im a big guy with good size arms so cranking the wheel is not a prob but curious how much harder the wheel is to turn with the manual rack? I also am looking into the alter-k because it would let me run the 2" TTI headers on my low deck in the a-body.



so here are the questions i have laid out and numbered. would love to hear back.

1. is the RMS track width wider then stock?

2. if so can that be changed by cutting upper and lower control arms down to bring spindles in closer?

3. how does the manual rack compare to stock manual box? harder to turn wheel?

4. anyone have real world #'s with how much weight i would loose with the swap. not including brake options? would get new wilwood kit.


also before i get asked. the parts the i have on my dart that are nearly new would get handed down to my 65 valiant so not wasting money by swapping to new suspension.

lets here the input guys.
