swaybar question with 11 3/4 brakes
I've run a bunch of wide front tire setups on my 68 Barracuda. And I have run the factory 68-72 sway bar K-member/LCA's AND the 73-76 spool mount Kmember/LCA's. For all combinations, I run the calipers in the back with the spindles swapped on my 11.75 disks.
Combos with ~50K+ miles with autox's and track time since 1993:
225/60/15 on 15x7 4.25 backspace cop rims

BTW my 68 Dart has a 68-72 K-memeber with rear mounted calipers/swapped spindles and 11.75 disk. I've run 225/60/15 on 15x7 4.25 backspace cop rims on there. No rubbing the sway bar.
