rack n pinion front steer ackerman issues...explain...

to clarify I have the upper and lower arm coil conversion from bob. The last time I talked to him to upgrade to the new spindle arms, rack, k member, and changing the ends on my trailing arm with shipping would be about 2300.
Now my opinion on front ends after changing and weighing almost every part on the car. There is no need to go to a coil over unless you have to run big headers under the car. The swap out weighs the same and the t bars are actually unsprung weight. The changing to a new k with front steer is only needed if you want to move the engine back or run a big square pan. There is only weight savings in the k member. Then if you do change to a kit that requires forward bars to stiffen the shock towers you are just trading more weight. It only makes sense if you have to have the bars for racing purposes.
I really am interested in this new cheap idea, it would be nice to see it when it is ready. Pease understand you maybe met with skepticism because every other week for the past 6+ years someone has come on this and other sites tooting their horn that they have the newest, cheapest, and most innovative new front end kit only to find out someone beat them to it or built it once and it didn't work.

Maybe for your specific application, but not everyone shares your expectations or results.

I find the majority of HDK customers install the conversion for these reasons.

1) eliminate the sloppy 45 year old factory steering by utilizing a rack and pinion assembly
2) eliminate header /torsion bar clearance issues
3) drop weight....29.8 lbs on manual HDK conversion (brake package savings not included)
4) overall room for different motor / header combinations
5) want a more aggressive, lowered, but drive-able stance
6) it is a hot rod....and they want modify it.

The conversion isn't for everyone....and definitely not every car. My two personal favorite builds of are my friends 23K miled, 383 / 4-speed 1970 Duster, keeping the factory suspension and my silver Hemi Duster (sorry, I love that thing).....two very different hot rods.....but look great side by side, whether sitting still or cruising down the road. Both started out as dime-a- don everyday cars....now serious hot rods (IMHO)
