What are the wheel size, offsets and tire size?

That will look cool. Nice wheel choice in the bottom picture.

That is a nice ride as well. The wheel offset on the rear is awesome. What brand factory replacement springs did you use?

That is a one nice dart. I may try the sliders.

Drag, Street or Street Strip?

Even with the 2800# springs it still sat higher than stock. I bought new front spring hangers that have 2 sets of holes in them so you can drop the car 1" and it still isn't down to stock ride height, but does sit about right for me. Edit. Mine are the MPP P4510268 & P4510269 XHD OEM-Style...

My dart is a '67. I put the 3200# springs on my car at first ( street car ). Rode like a buggy. I took those off and put the 2800 # springs on and the ride was much better. Edit. Mine are the MPP P4510268 & P4510269 XHD OEM-Style, A-Body, 2,800 lbs.

1/8" is the max it can be out of alignment. 1/16" would be better, but you will be fine with 1/8" if you chose to let it be. The reason I know this is I built a ladder bar setup for a duster and in the instructions it said to keep the alignment at 1/8" or less. In case you need to know, it was...

If you bend the tabs and it doesn't seem to hold well ( mine didn't ). So I bought one of these. Works very well and just snaps on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/301479800762?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

That is how it is supposed to be installed. I thought the same thing when I bought my new bushing kit but it is stamped into the washer to turn it that way, cupped side outward.

Anytime I had my front suspension apart I could bounce the car in the driveway and it would settle down where I thought it needed to be. But a trip down the street and back and I had to raise it back up. Your suspension has settled, so it is time to readjust your ride height.

Nice work badsport. I was going to buy one, but after seeing this picture I will just build it.

Wrong forum.

According to the Mopar Performance chassis book on page 252, the trans to driveshaft angle should always be 2.5 degrees or less (but not zero). On page 253 all the pictures showing how to adjust rear pinion angle show only the rear axle pinion and the driveshaft. No trans pictured or any...

My 67 Dart had the same problems with the steering link hitting the hooker headers. When I had the exhaust put on, I had the shop heat the tube where it was hitting and bend it in some. As far as the oil pan issue, it sounds like you need to try and get the correct mounts and that may solve that...

The front hanger bolts are going to be 5/8". I believe the U bolts are 7" long. I will see if I can get a measurement for you in the morning.

If that is where mine sits it will be real close to where I want it once I flip the front hanger.

Thanks for the picture 6pk2goDemon. Got any before and after pictures?

I am going to try and put them on this weekend. I will take pictures of the SS springs and the stock on side by side. Pics of the car with stock springs and then pics of the car with the SS springs.

How much do you think they will settle?

I was thinking about just flipping the front spring mounts. I saw a picture of the dart - 71 Dartguy has and it sits exactly like I want mine to sit. He mentioned that he did the front spring mount flip.

Just by the springs sitting side by side I can see the difference in the arch. I needed new springs for my and always wanted to run the SS springs. If for some reason I am not happy with them, at least I can always say, been there done that.

Yes.

I just bought new shocks before I decided to do the spring swap. I don't want to buy new ones at the moment so I am going to buy shock extensions instead.

Should I leave this here or post it in the suspension section?

I just got a brand new set of 002-003 mopar performance super stock springs today. I am going to put them on my 67 Dart this weekend. While they are still off the car I thought I would start this thread to help answer any questions I can before I install them. Then I will be glad to answer...

You could flip the front spring mounts, that would give you about an 1" drop and then use the lowering blocks and that should get you close to where you want to be.

I have the same issue with my 67 Dart and hooker headers. I am going to heat it with a torch and hammer the header tube in a little.
