1972 Dodge Dart Swinger Stance

Why don't you go back and read the beginning of this thread? Seriously. All I said was that Super Stock springs were not the best choice for what the OP wanted to do. That they would result in a harsh ride and unbalanced, decreased handling for a street car. I have said multiple times that they are good for what they were designed to do, which is launch at the track. I'm not that one that flagged all of your posts, I did not imply that any of you were whining, and I certainly didn't call you "too old". You guys are the one's backpedaling, and blaming me for being too sensitive after you DID come after my opinion personally. I simply pointed out that adding Super Stock springs to an otherwise fairly stock suspensioned car will in fact result in lousy, unbalanced handling. Which it will. That is in fact something that you can demonstrate quite easily if you actually try some handling situations with a car with SS springs. It is not just my opinion, it is in fact the physics of having a nose heavy car with stiffer springs in the back than in the front, coupled with a rake that will shift the weight of the car even further to the front.

You're right, driving back and forth to car shows or cruising around in dry conditions will never show you how badly your cars really handle unless something unfortunate happens and you're forced to use the handling of your car to avoid some kind of accident. But to say you've "never had any problems" is anecdotal at best and misinformation at worst. It's really more a statement that you've never encountered any situations that required half decent handling. I'm more than aware that not everyone wants to be able to have an old car with new car handling capabilities. But you can have an ok handling car and still run 15" rims and tires that look period correct if you take the right steps with your suspension so that everything works together in a balanced fashion. SS springs are NOT that step. The OP could have achieved the stance he wanted with larger torsion bars and a lowered front end, and his car would have actually handled better as a result.

As far as respect goes, I already said my peace in my last post. They're YOUR cars. You can do whatever you like with them. If that includes modifying them to possibly handle even worse than they did originally, so be it. I don't personally agree with that, but I'm sure you don't agree with my 18" rims either. And I don't go around the board telling people with stock rims and tires that they need to upgrade their cars. I actually try to avoid commenting in any threads about stock, or fairly stock cars because I know that not everyone likes the modifications necessary to make one of these cars handle and I'm tired of purists saying negative things about my car. But I do try to inform people asking questions about how to modify their car about options that will result in better handling. I never said the OP needed to get rid of his 15" (or 14"?) rims. I never said anything about how BFG T/A's are lousy handling tires until after you gentleman chimed in (although that's true). I simply suggested a way that the OP could get the stance he was after while actually improving the handling of his car, even with everything else the same. And that's when it was suggested that SS springs would do what the OP wanted. They won't. I'm not saying you guys can't run SS springs on your cars. Or that all A-bodies need to be modified to handle like mine. The only thing I ever disputed was your claims that your Super Stock spring equipped, otherwise fairly stock suspension set ups handle well on the street. Because they don't. Run your cars however you like, but stop misinforming people.
