1968 Dart 270 NON-build
I replaced the worn out shocks with KYB. They help the car to feel less floaty, but this car needs stiffer springs. Next up were wheels and tires. I picked up "open box" Mustang Bullitt wheels for cheap off of eBay. I had to use a 3/8 spacer in the front with longer studs, and a 1" adapter in the rear. I did not have to machine the disc hub at all, but the front dust caps aren't fully seated. Went with 245/45/17 tires all the way around. The back tires fit perfect, but I had to push the front fenders out a little. I discovered a clearance problem on my first test drive.
