Enough talk of economics, its gay to do that on a car forum.
Lol!
Lol!
That's my point if this was affordable more people could reap the benefits of having a more modern front end. When was the last timesomeone switched to leaf spring rears from a 4 link yet guy swap out their leaves for links everydayFirst of all, this is a free market system if the price of the alterkation was too high, mr reilly would be out of business, seems like he is doing ok, through a recesion, just saying.
Johns parts, you the consumer don't like what is going on, you think you can build a better mouse trap, for cheaper. Good, thats how the system works, just don't find out the hard way that is that price for a reason, all though I doubt it.
USCG Charger, what you spouted off where principles and not laws, do you know the difference college boy? That fact that you said you have a MBA is pompous and arbitrary, I bet you took Micro and Macro economics and thats it, if you tell me you understood them you are flat lying. You are not an economist and even if you were it wouldn't matter, economics is like politics and philosophy, no right answer just a ton of opinions on interpretation. ENOUGH TALK OF ECONOMICS, ITS GAY TO DO THAT ON A CAR FORUM. The market will decide if his price is too high.
But why all the fuss to get a tubular K member, I mean really, WTF? I don't know why some guys get caught up on thinking they need stuff that doesn't really matter. People successfully raced these cars with torsion bars, once again WTF? And dont ask the guy that bought one he is not going to admit how stupid of a purchase it was, he is 5 grand into the deal. Do you think there aren't days when he says," oh yea 5 grand it was totally worth it, my bills can wait". I mean if you got money to blow then do it, but for an average guy making average money, its just stupid.
Wow who cares who is opposed to a good and cheap k frame for a mopar. .....

I like the arguments regarding the building of a better mousetrap for a lesser price. That is what made this country. Don't complain - Do! I also find it interesting that the one person that admitted buying an expensive system did it to get a "low look" (no offense intended) and did not buy it for the quick ratio of the rack and pinion because they were having difficulty with hand over hand motion while conering on a road course or drifting on a closed circuit somewhere. The one comment about the mopar t-bar suspension being superior for its time is most accurate and still true today. At many track days at Firestone and Buttonwillow raceways the valiant patrol, albiet with a set of aluminum wheels and sticky tires, produces lap times very close to and even better than many other "stock", and some modified performance cars. Most people there can't figure it out because they directly equate what they spend to performance level. If you feel the need to have a certain thing, buy it. If your doing so to keep up with the "money" guys go for it. But me, autoxcuda, and the green brick will likely eat you alive if you ever show up for track day with our "stock" suspensions. And I'll do it with the greatest satisfaction of all, knowing that I did not have to bankrupt my household to do it. I wish you nothing but success with your k-member venture but don't expect an order from me as I already have the best one ever engineered for my car.
Hmmm, I'm thinking you might be on to something.
Have you called RMS to see if they will sell it piece by piece as money allows.? I know its not broken down on the site like that but I could swear that bill said he would sell it piece by piece if ya wanted.. I think it was in a thread on bbd a while back.
My X said she would make one for me-A very nice oneI really enjoyed reading this thread. Very informative and sometimes heated. But here is my two cents: I have been a hot rodder for 45 years. I do not weld but have managed to build some nice cars. I am presently building a 68 Dart race car. I am using an Alterktion front end because it is scary enough to go mid-8's in a car without having to worry about if the front end is up to the task. I leave that stuff to the real pros.
I'm not finished living yet. Yes 5K is a lot of $$ but only my ex-wife would think I am not worth at least that amount. LOL.
