    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    I'm sure I'll get railed for this, but in my opinion, the spindle is the limiting factor on both torsion and CoC. This is the reason we go for the FMJ spindle and some even use taller ball joints with those. Not to mention the limitation on brake options and you are still stuck with traditional...

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    These are the spindles I was referring to --> https://speedtechperformance.com/product/tall-height-ats-hot-rod-subframe-spindles/ They are approximately 1/2" taller than the Wilwood M2 spindle. Besides the height advantage, there's a ton of commercially available steering arm options for...

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    Clearly I don't have a circle track car.

    Yes, sorry. Most people in the handling world will understand its negative camber. I see no application where you would want to run any amount of positive camber.

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    And I'll add that I really like my HDK setup. And yes, I did spend a lot of time adjusting it to optimize it to my liking. I'm currently running 8+ degrees of caster and around 2 degrees of camber. I have just under a degree of camber gain in the first inch of bump and right at 1" in the second...

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    Why do you assume vintage trans am racing is the only form of racing people do with these cars? Plenty of us on the autocross and road course having fun with our car vs sitting a lawn chair behind it.

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    Besides cars, I'm sure there were lots of cool things that came out in 1970. Just like cars and all those things, I'm sure they have improved in 55 years. People worked with what they had back then and even now. I have a hard time understanding why people think technology from 55 years ago is...

    New Coil-Over Conversion Suspension

    Welcome to the brutal world of Mopar aftermarket suspension. I wish you the best. I have a few questions/comments and do not mean anything negative, so please don't take it the wrong way. As many people have stated, if you mention improved geometry, people that actually understand geometry...

    Mini tubbing my Duster

    I'd go with something other than Dr. Diff axles if you're putting down any kind of power with slicks.

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    I just checked out the QA1 webpage. They still have this same design available. I'm not an ME, but there's no way I could say, "that ain't going anywhere" with this design.

    Single adjustable at the bushing. He welds threaded inserts to the tubing, which is much better than some of the ones that just threaded the tubing. I still use the gen 1 SPCs because I change my alignment fairly often and I like the simplicity they offer.

    I run his first gen SPC arms and they make alignments much easier, not to mention the much needed additional caster.

    Man they have taken it easy on you so far. These threads are usually a blood bath of opinions. Anyway, my vote is HDK. Besides Denny being a great dude, his product is high quality. I've got at least 2000 miles on mine and 150+ autocross runs and haven't had a single problem.

    Any guidance on my 1970 Duster plans

    I think it's hilarious how butt hurt people are getting over the T/A engine and on the suspension forum at that. Please rebuild it and put a single 2bbl carb on it just get their panties further up their ***. While you're at it, paint it Ford blue or Chevy orange.

    Any guidance on my 1970 Duster plans

    Looks like a nice car to start with. I became addicted to autocross almost 4 years ago. Don't worry about being the fastest out there, because chances are you never will be. You will, however, have the coolest car there! I wouldn't worry about the ride being too harsh if you go with large...

    Restomod or Original OEM style?? - Feedback Appreciated!

    It depends on the mounting point of the LCA. Not sure where the others besides the HDK fall. They may be able to get away with less based on the LCA mounting point.

    Restomod or Original OEM style?? - Feedback Appreciated!

    I'm not looking to hijack a thread, or get into a pissing match over which is better. I've run both the stock style stuff and now on an HDK setup. I like both and I think there is a place for both. However, I want to clarify, "driving hard" on the street will never duplicate a road course or...

    Restomod or Original OEM style?? - Feedback Appreciated!

    Sounds to me like you don't intend to do any track or autocross. Why spend money where you don't need to? There's an easy recipe to make your car feel completely different. (with all new bushings of course) Borgenson steering box 1.03" or larger t-Bars sway bar Bilstein or better shocks Disc...

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

    Would the offset UCA bushing be allowed in that class?

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

    That's him. I never looked at his setup super close, but I peaked under it this time and saw stock stamped steel UCAs! Factory style Chrysler steering box, not a borgenson. I realize some of this stuff can have modifications, but dang it's unassuming! Great car, great guy.

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

    Denny's mounts allow for adjustment, I don't recall how much. Maybe an inch. I initially had them on the engine so it would be as far back as possible. That proved to be too far back for me. I have my main engine harness connector on the firewall and it was just too close to work. It also put...

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

    I sure hope this thread doesn't get derailed again, like most of them do on this subject matter. For those actually interested in the content I'll provide an update on the car with real data, not speculative. I get it that most that disagree aren't educated on the physics required to actually...

    Sorry I missed your question. Yes it's an Allstar performance ball joint. Attached is their catalog page with all the available part numbers. Just google up the part number and you will find someone selling them.
