Alignment with ductile-iron rockers?

Yep, it's me car. ;) I only drive the Dart to cruise-ins and car shows. Furthest I've driven is 40 miles one-way. 11 mpg highway, a 10 gallon fuel cell, and 3.91 gears with no OD doesn't make for a good daily driver or highway cruiser! I also spend July, August, September away from home and I can't take the Dart with me.

Please tell me WHY you prefer spacers? Is there a long-term problem with those springs breaking or fatiguing? Or do you just like playing with shims :)

I have seen the spring lose tension over time. The springs were a cost saving measure. I am not the "it's good enough" type of guy after many years of watching things that "never fail" cause issues and tear up parts. It's a personal choice. As has been said before all things street/strip are a compromise.
