Cragar finally emailed me back about custom backspacing. Talk about slow customer service. The good news though is that it looks like if I wanted a set of those wheels I could make them work. "Hi Tate, 17x9 is the widest we offer. But, we can do special backsides. The min and max are below...

Hello James, I have a few questions -Are your boxes made in house? -Are they internally exactly the same as OEM or upgraded in any way? (besides it being 16:1) -How long do you guys warranty them? Thank You

I agree about the Borgeson, I like how small they are but cost adds up in a hurry. looks like I will shoot for 20:1 then, Thanks

I have a standard 24:1 manual steering box from my 74 duster needing a rebuild. I talked to firm feel about rebuilding it and quoted me $330. They said for an aditional $225 they can upgrade it to either a 20:1 or 16:1. Should I go for the upgrade and if so which ratio. I am doing some mid...

I understand now, bummer. I'm sure cragar doesn't offer custom backspacing on those wheels. Those are one of the few sets of 17's that I liked the look of. Back to square one for wheels.

Sorry If I come off as dense, Im just trying to make sure I'm on the same page, you are giving me a ton of great information. Hypothetically, If I'm considering 255/45r17 on all four corners using those 17" Cragars that are 9 inches wide. They have 5 inches of backspacing. With only 5...

What If I were to cave in a bit and go with a 17, Bummed out because I really wanted to keep my dog dish caps but after the last few days of trying to find a decent set of 15 tires I'm about ready to switch to a bigger wheel. It would be cool If I could get a 17 inch wheel that would accept my...

Yep, it's been mentioned a few times now. That's what I had on the car but I'm going to totally different route now that I'm actually trying to get the car to handle. Wish there were more 15 inch performance tire options just to appease the musclecar guys

Fair enough, thanks for the info. I will start off with the hellwig.

Yea price is not my concern. I can get the hellwig for about half the price as the other two but I don't mind spending more money if the larger 1.5 bars are better than the 1 1/8 hellwig bars. Are the other two that much better than the hellwig?

I know he did but I started second guessing myself after he mentioned how great of a step up the hotchkis shocks are over the bilsteins. However I'm going to stay with them for now and might experiment with heavier torsion bars and fox shocks later

Edit:sticking with my bilsteins for now. I know there have already been some suggestions but Anyone have any front sway bar comparison info? Cant decide between the helwig, hotchkis or the firm feel.

Awesome, thanks How about rim width in relation to ture size? Should I just go with as wise as is recomended for a tire size? I know there can be alot of sidewall flex when trying to run a tire on too narrow of a rim. Like on a 225/60r15 for the front what is the optimal rim width? 8 inches...

I have a set of 4 Bilsteins on the way. I also have a set of circle track rear springs. I am speaking with firm feel and should hopefully have one of their front sway bar kits coming and will have them rebuilding my manual steering box. Question on tires, I know that it promotes understeer...

Thanks for all the info, ill start checking into a few of these things

Oops, i shouldbl e checked first, biggest you can get is 225 i guess

Cool, im a big fan of cooper tires, ill ditch the bf goodrichs and get myself a set of cooper ultra tourings. How does a set of 255/60r15s on the back on 15x8s sound?

Hey rob! Been a few years! Ill check out the qa1's How have you been?

I understand 15's are a huge limiting factor, but i really want to retain my dogdish hubcaps. If i could fet 18s i could put dogdishdd on i would be sold. Moog bushings are on the order list Thanks for the rec on the sway bars, i will put those on the list. How stiff are the mopar circle...

How do you like the kumos? What size are you running on the rear?

Yep, like i mentioned, the ss springs are getting removed. Where would you recomend getting rear springs from? 74 duster Thanks for the moog bushing tip I would really like to keep 15s to maintain the dogdish hubcaps i will look into the mickey thompsons

Your right, shouldve given a few specifics. 74 duster, 360, manual steering, currently 340 torsion bars, currently super stock springs, front rebuild with oem bushings, still looking for recomendation on tires but will be using 15" steel wheels Can you recomend a brand of gas shock? Rear...

Thats the idea :burnout:

Bf goodrich radial t/as were what i was originally planning on. I will be running 15's. Tire size recomendations? Not sure how much i can get away with. Have kyb shocks and fbody discs up front. Thanks for the tips

Im not into drag racing, just want a car i can actually drive. We have lots of nice curvy roads, while im not exactly going to go autocross racing, I would like to be able to have a little fun in them. Right now i have SS springs in the rear. I would like something that levels the car back...

good to hear, thank you sir

I believe that A, B and E body 8.75 shock plates are all interchangeable, can anyone confirm that this is correct?

yea the first time I removed them it took alot of work with one that was frozen, but that was recently so It shouldn't be too bad.

The engine and everything else is out of the car and the K-member needs to come out anyway so its not going to be anymore work for me, I just need to know wether or not it will work. I have removed the torsion bars before but I have since installed custom made subframe connectors that are in...

Strange torsion bar removal question for you. Is it possible to remove the torsion bars from the front instead of the rear? Can I take off the tension from the T-bars and drop the engine K-member down and pull the T-bars out from the front? I would think so unless there is something obvious I...
