Since I picked up the Duster, I've been checking out aftermarket K-frames with the intention of turning this thing into a well balanced, superior handling, lightweight "Supercar" I could turn loose on the street, strip or road course.
These guys (XVMotorsports) are doing just that with B and E body cars. They are the most expensive but the best engineered I've found yet. I gave them a call and they said that they are contemplating an "A" body kit for two reasons:
1. People who own A's aren't as skittish about modifying them as the possible finanicial loss is about nil on a /6 car vs. a rare AAR 'Cuda.
2. Anything that a B or E body could do, an A body could do better! (This was straight from the horses mouth).
They are taking names of possible customers if they decide to do this. These kits are pricey but promise better than 1g on the skidpad. This is 'vette and viper territory here. Imagine being able to out handle Scooter and Biffs new ZR1 with your Duster, Cuda, Valiant or Scamp! LOL!
OK, here's the web site: http://www.xvmotorsports.com/
Then there's Magnumforce: http://www.magnumforce.com/
Then Alterktion: http://www.reillymotorsports.com/store/home.php?cat=255
Then CAP: http://www.capautoproducts.com/
I also read of a company called "Blue Zombie" that makes suspension kits, but I don't think I would buy from them based on the name alone. lol.
Anyway, has anyone used any or all of these kits and what was your impression in regards to handling improvement, dragstrip performance, engineering, customer service, and oil pan/header clearance?
Thank you to everyone who responds! :salute:
