    Adding rear sway bar pros or cons

    I used Addco on my Charger. I used a factory style bar on my 442. These old cars practically beg for one. I used to get a ton of rear body roll, I see why they are called land yachts.

    Rear Shocks upgrade to the mono tube type

    Kyb also offers the GR2 series. Lower gas charge pressure and lighter valving. I have them on my 67 442 and they are a good ride. I have big front and rear sway bars, multi rate springs and tubular arms front and rear, so I'm not relying on the shocks for roll control or traction.

    QA 1 Control arms

    I have them on my 68 Charger, no issues.

    Explain to me how leaf springs relate to traction.

    If you can find it, go read the old Direct Connection racing manual. It covers everything from engines to suspensions and and ton of stuff in between. Anyway, it lists factory and DC parts numbers for performance mods. In terms of suspension under acceleration, you actually want to see the...

    Looking for the „best“ front end starting from K-Member to full front suspension

    For me, the K-frame was what started it. Mine was bent from several impacts, P.O. seems to have driven and parked by feel. Once I started looking, the QA1 K-Frame was no more expensive than a stock piece, after shipping, blasting and powder coating. After that, I figured I'd just do it all...

    Looking for the „best“ front end starting from K-Member to full front suspension

    I used QA1 stuff on my 68. Tubular K-frame, arms, adjustable strut rods, sway bar etc. Went on and fit like a glove, not aligned it yet, so not sure how much positive caster I can get, but should be good. Tim

    Rear Shocks upgrade to the mono tube type

    I used to sell KYB among other brands and always thought the price vs. performance was good. I got my last set off Rock Auto. They had a spring special last year, I got all four Gas Adjust for a bit over $60.

    Front Suspension Kit - 69 Coronet 500 Convertible

    I have QA1 on my 68 Charger, including the crossmember, strut rods and sway bar. Good fit and not stupid money either.

    4 wheel disc with manual brakes - anyone running this combination?

    I have Wilwood 4 wheel disc and a Wilwood 15/16 non power master. Haven't driven the car yet, but this is what Wildwood recommended. The tech guy said they use this setup a lot.

    Did you change the proportioning valve?

    Full brake kit system + suspension kit worth?

    I have the full QA1 on my 68 Charger. Fits well, I like the tubular K-frame. I went Willwood on the brakes, but a brake upgrade of some sort is a must to me. Tim

    Upgrade Front Sway Bar

    I went with QA1, but I did the whole QA1 enchilada.

    Suspension suggestions 69 Road Runner

    I went with QA1. Not light years better than stock, but my K-frame was bent, and I wanted the geometry correction of the tubular arms. I'm happy with the purchase.

    Tubular k frame. QA1? Reilly Motor Sports? Magmun Force?

    I have all QA1 on my 68 mostly due to K member damage. Once I did that, I went ahead with control arms, strut rods, upgrade sway bar, rebuilt steering box. Went with PST C body tie rod assemblies and quick ratio idler/ pitman arms. Car is still in pieces, but it looks good. Hopefully it drives...
