DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

No, we didn't care about the theory. We just lowered the car until we ran out of room and that was that. Suspension travel was the biggest issue on the car. What we needed was a dropped front spindle but nobody made a good one. There was a piece of junk on the market back then, but after we looked at it we decided to just stay with the FMJ knuckle. I thought about building my own knuckle but eventually decided not to.
A really high quality forged version of the FMJ knuckle with an inch of drop built in would help these cars a bunch. Should be a money maker since the volume would be decent. Doctor Diff and I exchanged some drawings at one point but we didn't take it any further.

I’ve been toying with a fabricated spindle idea and one of the things that cropped up was the idea of a 1” drop. But when I looked at the outer tie rod clearance issues with a deep 17” wheel and a standard height spindle I figured it wasn’t going to work even with an 18” wheel. The barrel of the wheel needs to come pretty far in to get a big tire on the front and a 1” drop in the spindle seemed like it would limit the tire size pushing things backwards.
