Sorry to jump in here, but I've been reading through posts now for the last 4 weeks but can't really get a straight answer (it's like discussing politics in a room with 10 different people lol)
Is a full front end conversion like the RMS and it's likes the only way to get the car stiffer and handle like a modern car? My "Problem" is that car is already converted with disc brakes on all four corners (SSBC) so a new K-member setup would be new spindles which equals new brakes. Today car sits at great hight (see attached picture) but is really "soft" and you can rock the car from side to side without any effort. I want it stiffer and better road handling without the major investment:
Cost for importing the whole kit would be price of unit + shipping * 1.3 * 1.1 which is ALOT of money. Of course it's a nice to have feature with double adjustable coil overs and God knows, but tbh - I had it on my 800 rwhp LX-car and spent a decent amount of adjustment before I got it right - and then never changed it.
That car was a track monster, but my 69 Roadrunner will be a more of a cruising at highway speeds kind of car (I won't run any track, some occasional street races to hunt Mustangs and Camaros) but mostly enjoying scenic touring across the country.
I'm fairly new to the B-body family and don't really know where to start - can some kind soul point me to alternatives to full front end conversion?
