DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

Mopar_Taxi_Guy said
Can someone please show me where it has ever been proven that any of the coil over kits offer "better" handling over an optimized torsion bar setup?

I've looked over a bunch of lap times from various events of Mopar people that have converted to coil over setups from torsion bars and from the coil over setups to the fairly new Mopar Speedtech parts and the lap times don't show any improvement in lap times.

that my friend.....could be a tuffy. If desired alignment specs can be achieved with either set up, how could one prove one is better than the other?

however....

apples to apples, manual steer to manual steer, the HDK coil over package is 30lbs lighter than the OEM equivalent. a power rack and pinion vs power steering box offers even more weight reduction. Less front end weight could be considered a "handling advantage"

with a rack and pinion (even power) the engine / driveline is often lowered in the cradle. Lowering the center of gravity could be considered a "handling advantage"

HDK offers the ability to move the track width inward / outward. Not even considering that adjustment may allow wider tires, a wider track width could be considered a "handling
advantage.

if you work on the your car, or are attempting to stuff a physically much larger power plant in, the absence of a steering box, drag link, steering arm , idler /pitman arm and torsion bars, especially the larger ones, while it likely would not be considered a handling advantage.......sure makes it a lot easier to work on.
