Looking at Tubular K member
Hey Rassnasty82,
Just so you can see what the RMS kit looks like in a real car and not an advertisement, here's pics of my install.
I previously had the original K-Frame welded and gussetted , 11/16 tie rods and sleeves, boxed lower control arms and revamped power steering box , all new strut rods and bushings, K&N shocks, re-arched rear springs. Took the whole works out and sold it to use RMS Suspension.
With the new setup , header install is a breeze, , steering is fantastic with great feel, no more wandering, car is absoultely locked in in the turns and is a blast to drive fast in the twisties.
I know there are several members on here who really know how to make the factory stuff perform well and I wish I had been on this site longer as I might have learned how to make it perform better but now I don't have the time to be fu#king around with suspension setups trying to "get it right". My cruising season is short enough as it is. 5000 miles later and I'm very happy with the new setup.
That being said, if budget is an issue , its cheaper to modify your existing suspension but you will need to follow the suggestions by 72bluNblu, AutoXcuda and a couple of others on here who can really dial in the stock suspension. Just be prepared to experiment a lot to get it right.
Heres the whole setup for the front end . Notice that the coil-over mount is integrated into the k-frame and does not use the inner fenders for anything. I actually filled the holes in the inner fenders when I did the body work.
RMS Alter K ation installed!
Frame rails tied and torque boxes installed.
United Car tool Components used. Very beefy and fit well.
This is a must to get the car rigid enough for good handling.
Good luck with your project and post some pics of your car!
Cheers!!
