confessions of problems i have with the dart

A car doesn't have to be quick to be fun. Nor fast. I have had a lot of fun with teener cars. And if it ain't fast it doesn't need much brakes. With a 65 mph speed limit, even 9inch brakes can get you stopped pretty good.
With 3.23s and an LSD, and just the spring relocation, (which allows 275s with custom sbp steel 15s.); you could be having soooooo much fun. Maybe some Caltracks or something, but I'm not sure I would bother.
I'll tell you a secret; on the street: I found, in 0-60 straight-line acceleration, 2.95s were little to no quicker than 275s. I'm pretty sure new 275s would be quicker than second summer 295s.
With the relocated spring kit, I think Blu says 275s fit into Darts ok;tight but they fit. I found 275s waaay quicker than 245s,lol. With 275s the back sorta stays in the back, until you act real silly.
Wheel Vintiques will sell you 15" hoops with a 5 on 4" Rally spiders, and put it almost anywhere you need it to be, and the upcharge is minimal.Custom steelies from Wheel Vintiques are cheap! There are other companies doing similar.
>What's that come to? Up here; under a $1000. Probably closer to $650/700. So for the price of the relocation kit, the moving of the perches, and the custom wheels, plus the 275s; you could be having a blast, and looking cool.

Don't miss-understand; I'm not poo-pooing a brake upgrade. I'm only saying that you're not driving a big-rig and the speed limit is 65 in most places, so having 120 mph brakes is nice, but .......... certainly 10 inchers are or can be excellent from 65mph and down. So pick your spots with care. Probably some 80% or more of your driving will be at under 45mph, so ............I sure wouldn't sacrifice driving pleasure for lack of disc-brakes. You and your car ain't getting any younger!
If you can skid the front tires at 35mph, you have adequate city brakes.If you can't, skidding may be just a brake-lining and drum machining away.
Moving the springs over only takes a couple of hours.
And finally; I have found the KH 4piston set-up, more than adequate for my street-rod, for more than 125,000 miles. I have never needed more.

go man,GO!
