How many inches are you from where you want to be?

That's an open ended question. What's the purpose of the car, street cruising, autox ? etc.. Is it coils all around ? or has leafs ? what sway bars you have ? etc... What does the company that sold you the kit say?

Definitely not full race setup, moving leaf 3/4" adding rear sliding shackle, looking what mods I can do the improve handling came across this one, just wondering if worth it?

Works like a heim joint, suppose to take binding out of the rear suspension, I plan on some autox and drag razing.

Anyone modify there leaf springs with Spherical bushings, which ones did you use and how did it workout?

Depends how there bolted in Design right a bolted connection can be as strong as welded.

My guess one is from a Fifth Ave.

I think your right, since the rockers are the frame connectors, torque boxes adds strength to the connection and is how the factory dealt with it. Like to see a shootout between the two see which one helps the best. Probably an X weld in frame connector would be better just would make hanging...

Ya I got the one on the right.

It's an old SA book, forget the name it's in my storage locker, It's all old school torsion bar and leaf spring setups.

Got the same oil pan for a 68 Valiant plan on doing a fab job on the K frame.

I got a book on how to setup A bodies for autocross, gives you formulas need find center of gravity and roll centers etc.. But still it only gonna give you ballpark and if you Plan on pushing car and tires to the limit your gonna have to play with different bars and springs and shocks tires...

To me it depends on what tires your using and do you plan on pushing them to them limits.

I bought double adjustable Vikings from PST, but most seem to recommend kyb as a good mid price shock.

Even a stock rebuild with a set of aftermarket sway bars huge step up. Add some larger than stock T bars and decent shocks is all you need unless you plan on autocross. Most don't come close to pushing the limits of the crap stock suspension nevermind a tweaked one.

Just curious what size of tires you running?

I'm gonna order those and a set of sway bars from you next week :)

I like those a good in between price hard not to justify.

That's the thing. Plus I'm in Canada by time there shipped to my door were talking like $1500 or more. I got $4000 Canadian left I can spend on this car. Things I'd like to get done. Front seat redone, new roller cam and airgap (380hp create engine in it) new ring and pinion, wanted to do...

I'm not going crazy with the suspension. Got 16:1 manual steering box, drop spindles and 11 3/4 brakes, 1.03" torsion bars, tubular upper, parts to reinforce and rebuild the lowers, new strut bars and larger tire rods end. On the rear only sway bar. I'm gonna leave leaf springs until I drive it...

Probably has less effect. But still acts like a gusset. Convertibles put them there to stop body twist.

I plan on adding tabs of the same thickness down the side of them and plug weld through the floor, more like the original frames.

I've been looking at uscartool stage 2 kit

Depends on the type of driving you do. If you drive like an old lady probably not but to like pushing the cornering ability especially with sticky tires then it becomes more of a must. You don't want a squirmy car in the corners at high speeds. But it's one of those things why not do it cause...

Ya got to post some pics. Got a few upgrades I want document on here. Got a bunch of boxes sitting here for fuel injection swap, front disk and suspension and new wiring harness, sound system. Got a new rug would also like to do the seats and headliner. Hope to get it on the road this year like...

Guess better just use one in the car and be down a few weeks during the swap.

I wouldn't know until I did the swap, which would be to late.

Thanks I was pretty sure they were but just wanted to make sure before I start putting time and money into it.

I'm pretty sure I have 2 V8 K frames don't know the years. But pretty sure they are 68-72 ones, idler arm is bolt through. Want to know if there are a 100% interchangeable with my 68 Valiant? Want to get one sand blasted strengthening up and powered coated and ready to drop in with big brakes...

I think the problem is people over estimate what the need/want. If your never gonna corner faster than .85 of a g no point of building a g machine. Which your not gonna hit too often in your daily driving. Decent tires, heavy duty sway bars and a slight lowering go a long way. But if you got...
