65 Dart rear suspension ideas?

[Patch]

I know i could/should have put this in the suspension area, but the early crowd (like myself) tend to be better thinkers... Anyway, I'm wanting to modify/replace my leaf spring rear suspension and go a lil more modern. I know...the purists say you can do a lot with leaf springs....but I'm looking at maybe some type of 4 link. I want good street/road handling and I can do the work myself...with time. Are there more types out there than just the basic 4 link....ideas? Thoughts? Thanks......Pat

You planning on racing or just normal driving? The SS springs are a very good option and work so well, GM guys run them on Camaros and Firebirds.

Reilly Motorsports has a cool 4 link.

And if a four link isn't heavy and complex enough, there's always the Jaguar IRS.

Rms lynx triangulated rear suspension is definitely the way to go, little pricey, well worth it

I forget where I read it but someone put an IRS set up from ford t bird in a 66 dart

If you are creative and want to be inexpensive, I always wondered how the rear end on my Mercedes 300D might adapt to an A-body. That would give IRS, disk brakes, and the torque handling of a diesel. The biggest problem is probably that it needs a support on the body behind the middle of the rear seats, so an A-body would need a lot of beefing up there. I think that is the problem with most IRS's. I think some have an integrated support cage which makes them easier to adapt. Are Jaguars like that, and is that why rodders have long used them.
