Duster suspension set up questions

So i am in the process of building my 74 duster from ground up, it will run a hemi 6.4, 904 into a 8, 3/4 shortened rear end. I am nearly ready to start putting all the running gear back together.
I want the car to sit low to slightly tuck the rear tyre and similar look up the front. A pr street style look etc, i don't want it scrapping the ground but dont want large gaps from rubber to fender arch
It will be a weekender, probably never even see rain lol and will do the odd pass on the track i am aiming for low tens.
I have a few questions on how to achieve the look and what components etc

Rubber
Rear: 275/60 r15 (28x10.8R15)
Front: 127/80 r17 (25x5 r17)

Currently for the rear suspension i have:
-Calvert split monoleaf with one inch drop with Dr diff offsets
-Caltracks

Will that be low enough or am i way out? What shocks should i run, I am thinking calvert 9 way adjustable would these be ok for racing and street duties?

Currently for the front suspension i have:
-Stock upper arms
-Stock bottom arms with bracing welded in
-Full front end rebuild kit from PST polygraphite kit
-Currently have the torsion bars that wer stock with the 318
-Not sure what shocks to use

What torsion bars should i use to get the height i want and for the hemi weight, i do know guys run the smaller torsion bars to soften the front for racing. But would this work against me for getting it low. Generally how many inches are you trying to knock out to get the guard to the tyre closed up? Would i need to make any other changes?
Also what brand shocks would be goof for racing and street duties

In the back you shouldn't have any issues with tucking the tops of the tires into the wheel wells. On my Duster the 295/40/18's I run are 27.3" tall, I run roughly stock height springs and use a spring slider set up that lowered the rear about 3/8". And that set up puts the top of the tire slightly above the quarter lip. It's ~26" to the quarter lip from the ground on my car so even with the weight of the car on the tires they're still tucked in a little. Also, if you're running a 1/2" offset kit and trimmed the quarter lip back you should be able to run 295's if you wanted as long as you get the backspace on the wheels right on.

In the front you're going to have a LOT of work to do, especially if your front tire is only 25" tall. You'd have to lower the front of the car about 2" to get close and honestly even that wouldn't be enough to cover the tops of the tires with only a 25" tall front tire. I run my Duster at just under 25" from the fender opening to the ground, and run 25.6" tall front tires, and they're barely covered because the tires just aren't as tall as the spec when the weight of the car is on them.

If you compare to the factory ride height specs, your A-B has to be 0 where the factory calls for it to be 1 7/8". That's a substantial loss of suspension travel, which isn't good at all for the street. You can get about 1" back by running short lower bump stops, the factory stops are 1 3/8" tall so if you replace those with 3/8" tall bump stops you regain about an 1". On my car, I run QA1 tubular LCA's. The original style that didn't have bump stops had a lower profile than the stock LCA's, resulting in a gain of about 1" of travel. So on my car with 3/8" bump stops and the QA1 LCA's I kept about the same amount of suspension travel as stock.

I run 1.12" torsion bars in the front. Even with a 300 lb/in wheel rate I still occasionally touch the bump stops with street use. It's not enough to be a problem but you couldn't skimp much on the torsion bars without bottoming the suspension quite a bit more in my opinion. Obviously that depends on how you drive the car, I drive in a pretty spirited fashion on some not particularly well maintained mountain roads, so, if you're just cruising around town on the weekends you could get away with smaller bars. Bars that large aren't going to be ideal for drag racing though. You will have an advantage there because your 6.4 Hemi is likely quite a bit lighter than my iron headed 340, so you could probably run something like the 1.08" bars that @BergmanAutoCraft offers between the lighter front end and the difference in driving duties and still be in the ball park for wheel rate. Again, not great for a drag race set up in the front but it will handle and ride better than just lowering it onto the bump stops with the factory bars.

For shocks I've run Hotchkis Fox's and Bilstein RCD's, they work well with the large torsion bars. But they're probably not what you want for the strip.



He should be here any second.

I mean he's asking about a street/strip set up, which is no doubt closer to what you've built than what I have. Why not offer help instead of snide comments?
