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

it's all good man.

thank you for the kind words, i appreciate it. nobody is perfect and we're all prone to mistakes or mis-remembering things, especially over the years. lord knows i'm rarely right myself.

while i'd love for there to be a definitive article that lays bare the rather foggy nature of factory suspension (primarily the spindles) corralling all of that data would be an undertaking that is frankly above my desire and pay grade.

and again, i'm not trying to detract from one school of thought or another (lord knows i've got my own issues there), i just wanted any of the information presented to be correct and not let anybody be operating with bad information.

i'm certainly no expert, but i've been around it a lot and the only reason i know for certain is from having my hands in and on these things, doing the work.

Just going with my limited experience with OEM from when I built Butch's street ride 5 years ago

In the assortment of parts I had the larger spindles/ Wiloods. Wheels stuck out too far to lower the car the way I envisioned.

Swapped to 9" drum spindles / Wilwoods / same lowers / HDK small ball joint uppers and I distinctly remember gaining 7/8" each side. Gave me enough room to drop the nose and turn without clearance issues.

Oh well....
