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

Mitch's Challenger is about as dialed in for autocross as you can get a stock suspension mopar. It was built for national level SCCA stock class competition.

Once upon a time , a t-bar mopar set-up was very desirable and could be set up to run very well, as demonstrated by Mitch's Challenger. It always had a compromise with the caster/camber relationship, but that could be aided with spacers on the lower ball joint, shorter strut rods and offset control arm bushings. Now days, the limited choice of t-bar selection has made stock performance set-ups even more challenging to achieve.

The aftermarket coil over suspension do have a huge advantage in spring selections can be changed in 50# increments, and you can find these springs in swap meets in a range of rates for about $50 a pair. They have geometry that is more dialed in, out of the box, than most average guys will ever achieve with stock stuff. They are lighter than a stock system. Also, a R&P system provides precision a recirculating box can only dream of. I won't say they have an advantage in brake access because ARE and Dr Diff have plenty of kits to access big brakes. They also lake the millions of rough road miles that a stock system is capable of achieving. Will some get there, I'm sure some day, but these also aren't daily driver cars anymore either.

Agree to disagree on some of your points. Torsion bars are available in ~50 lb increments if you look at sizes between Firm Feel and Sway Away. Now they're more like $400-$500 a pair, but, we're still driving Mopars right? I have A-body bars in 1.06, 1.12, 1.14, 1.18 and 1.24 for my Duster. There's less than a 50lb change between all of those except the 1.18 to 1.24's, but Sway Away offers a 1.2" bar. Firm Feel still advertises custom bars too, although I'm sure those would be very spendy.

Caster/Camber has been solved with adjustable control arms, you can do darn near anything with the SPC adjustable UCA's I have on my car. I'm sure those are a still a no go for a lot of SCCA classes, but for the CAM stuff they're fine.

This whole "coil over set ups are lighter" thing. Not that much. Like, if you compare a manual rack HDK set up to an OE set up with manual steering it's less than 30 lbs different. If you compare a power rack HDK to mopar suspension with a Borgeson box the HDK is about 35 lbs lighter. And that's without aluminum strut rods and tie rod adjusters, tubular LCA's, etc on the Mopar suspension. So yes, technically the coil over set ups are lighter. But it's not such a massive difference that other choices can't make a bigger difference, like say adding AC to your car, or choosing a heavy set of wheels vs a light set, having a big block vs a small block vs Gen III hemi, etc.
