Is anyones Mopar REALLY low?

Ryguytoodry · May 27, 2014

I wanna see all the low b-bodies and possibly some specs on what you have going on. Im about to do the Belvederes leafs, uca's, and torsion bars. I heard flipping the hangers, shortening the shackles, de-arching all works out back.

My setup is:

3800lb SS leafs
1.18 Firm Feel t-bars
Firm Feels uca's

Car won't be driven on the street so I'm not worried about scraping and ****...

Not driven on the street haha, its a track car.

was at the track for the all Mopar event this weekend...only super low models were the Daytona's and such other front wheel drive fame converted to RWD...or the rails..most of the B-bodies were set up a traditionally would have been at the time they debuted and made racing history...just don't associate in my mind a b-body and slammed is all...nothing wrong with it I suppose..just not my mental image of a B-body

With those Super Stock spring's your going to need lowering blocks as thay stand taller than stock.

Check out Pro-Touring sites, you'll get a more positive response possibly....

But IMHFO this is a stance that looks good if done correctly, allot of my cars are lower, for better handling/cornering/low center of gravity & I like a little bit lowered look too, aggressive looking... If it has the right stance, wheel/tire combo & set up properly, so you don't bottom out & have too many troubles, track or not, because it's way too low...

Most 'low' cars like I imagine you're interested in won't have stock suspension. Coilover conversion in front and 4 link or the like in the back. Sometimes bagged.

I think something like this is about as low as you can get w/ the stock stuff...sorry I don't have other examples for other models...

Can you say Ghetto Cruiser?Thats what comes to mind when I see the back wheels buried in the wheel well.Personally I like to see the top of the tire.

My tubbed 69 Coronet was pretty damn low Ryan... Yes that's where I drove it in Liberty Village downtown Toronto! hahaha had it parked in my GF's condo parking garage! It was 4 link out back

Boise68 · May 27, 2014

Hey Goon, That was one killer Coronet!

Thanks Boise! It was a very cool car just wasn't what I needed to suit my needs! And I was happy it went to the right buyer! The guy who picked it up was about to do all this same stuff to his Camaro (tub, cage, 4 link, narrowed 9" etc...) but his Dreamcar to race at the strip was a 69 Coronet RT because his dad still had his original 69 RT!! My ad was barely up a few hours and this guy bought it sight unseen for full ask! I lost touch but would love to know what's become of it!

Here's a couple more pics

Here's mine. Front is stock but in the picture the torsion bars are completely unwound and the car is sitting on the bump stops. you could do 2" lowering spindles and get maybe a bit lower than you see here and still have some travel.

Rear is 4 link and coil overs. Now, im running 30" diameter tires and there is room to go lower, except i'd never get the tires off. if you run something like 27", you could crank it quite a bit lower.

I like that a lot! That's pretty much my aim with my RR but no money to get into suspension right now after everything else I've just finished!! Your oil pan isn't getting too beat up??

Cranky · May 27, 2014

Doesn't sit too high for having tall tires on it.......stock front end, ladders in the rear.
