Absolutly false.... a suspension rebuild, with decent parts, a slight bar rate increase and a decent front sway bar and modern rubber, and these cars will handle as good as anything with comparable weight.. There are some guys who think you need to spend 9K on a aftermarket suspension to handle....it gets expensive quick to "try" to keep up with modern cars. imo, not really worth it. you gotta accept the fact these are old outdated cars that handle just okay compared to something newer.
Without question, the WORST advise given so farCoil over conversion and ss springs

I also have just suspension 1.0" torsion bars for sale.
Rusty is spot on.........there is a place for aftermarket front suspension setups, but it is mostly for a header clearance deal, anyone who thinks the factory suspension isn't capable of awesome handling, either hasn't tried, or cant propery tune, or a combination of the two. You also don't need tubular uppers, a set of moog offset bushings cost like $30 and do everything the tube uppers do....Any more questions, just ask, I have PERSONALLY kicked all kind of *** with mopars on oval tracks, with stock suspension parts....glad to helpThe stock Mopar suspension is probably the best place to begin. You can make them handle great with a few simple things. Lowering the center of gravity of the car, using performance tires and wheels that are made to enhance handling. Having a performance alignment done by someone that knows what they are doing. I agree about the SS springs.....probably not the best for carving corners. I would look at some kinda single monoleaf fiberglass dealio. They are nice and work great. I think Firm Feel sells some torsion bars that will sit the car low and still retain good suspension characteristics. See what AutoXCuda says. I think it all depends on how much you want to depart from stock, but in all honesty, the stock suspension parts will go a LONG way.
well, damn, then he can pass on those and buy that other ****!
Its a sales thing..... $$$$$$nothing against you, i dont know why firm feel thinks they are gold!
Its a sales thing..... $$$$$$
well i understand that but $225 bucks?
PST steel sleeves were 50 with free shipping
Rock auto (Moog)(74 C Body) 11/16 inner tie rods 16 ea
Rock Auto (Moog)(74 C Body) 11/16 outer tire rods 14 ea
rock auto shipping 15 bucks (estimate)
so were looking at exactly 100 bucks off (not including FF shipping)... i would think they would want to be competitive...
Do people actually have problems runnning the stock "A" body size tie rods when upgrading
Their suspension systems? Is it a common problem that they break
805 is about spot on. As far as tires, Lee (lilcuda) is running 215-60-15 Yokohamas on all four corners. That is in stock wheel wells. You have to ask Lee if there is more room or how those tires perform.
