Coil Over vs Torsion Bar
Those are bolt on systems to replace the stock stuff. I guess my point was coming from going from torsion bars to a coil over on a a stock suspension.
That's why people use J braces that are tied to the shock towers--------
Agreed except the steering part. My borgeson kits are pretty precise even compared to a rack.
I am not a road racer, or a front end expert by any ,means.
I agree w/ hemi denny on the above post , there is no way u will lose 120 pounds w/ any front aftermarket set up. The tubular m.f. front I`m running is probably the litest one out there.
Oil pan clearance , header clearance are pretty darn good w/ it. Like I said , I have done a few things to make it stronger, and keep a close eye on it. The car is set up to run hard in a straight line, it doesn`t handle as well as the stock front form S suspension, or for that matter handle very well at all, but I can run an alum. 7 qt. rear sump pan on it. I hate center sump pans. We ran a coupe of diff. big pans on the hemi, finally settled on a full sump tie rod tube alum.pan, it was a pain in the a$$ ! It all depends on what u build ur car for.
I built a j brace set up that ties into the shock tower in 2 places to go along w/ the frame and firewall anchors. I wouldn`t even attempt to run this set up w/o them.
