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

there is so much more to fast times than the car.....just say'n

A driver can't make the car faster than it is. Only slower.

So if coil over converted Mopars are faster, well, all of their drivers are a lot slower.

Which is why putting the same guy in both cars is the better test. Like Tire Rack did with the Mopar Taxi and a 3 series BMW.

But it's a straw man answer, in my book.

My favorite part of that video is when Woody says he's never driven a pro-touring muscle car before. So, dude that's never driven a pro-touring muscle car uses a big block, 4 door B-body to go faster than he does in the 3 series Beemers he drives for a living.

so....you don't think lowering the center of gravity and 30lbs off the nose helps "handling" ? Ok, but I believe you just confirmed to me a severe case of CODS (coil over derangement syndrome)

First, you haven't shown that your HDK actually lowers the CG. You claimed that and provided no evidence. If it lowers the CG let's see your evidence.

Second, sure, losing 30lbs off the nose can help handling. But that's a small change and easily replicated by doing other things (like the battery relocation I mentioned, plus many others).

And yeah, what's the weight difference from the Hotchkis taxi, a big block B-body 4 door with factory power steering to the coil over converted A-bodies it's put down faster laps than? Bet it's more than 30lbs heavier on the nose, still faster.
