    K-Member / Rack & Pinion Steering Suggestions

    I am not the least bit interested in torsion bar vs. coil over systems. I started following questions here to determine if there was a viable solution to getting rid of the torsion bars and steering box which are in the way when swapping in a Gen II Hemi for instance. If anyone knows a good...

    Best suspension options???

    Maybe so but that IS NOT the question! I want a suspension that will handle a Gen II Hemi with the room they require. Those mods you are talking have nothing to do with fitting the engine in the chassis. We already know you can make the torsion bar setup handle well but that is NOT our concern...

    The view from customers

    How do customers view the available rear coil over setups? Not that many "store bought" setups out there that I've heard of. Anybody using one?

    Do you have the stock rear-steer steering arms flipped side-to-side and pointed forward to utilize a front-steer rack and pinion?

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    Referencing post #102 - In the first picture, set at ride height, it looks like there is minimal clearance between the upper ball joint mount and the spring. In the second picture with the suspension at full droop the spring has been removed and it looks like there would be significant...

    rack n pinion front steer ackerman issues...explain...

    Now that's funny and I don't care who you are. It won't work with stock unmodified spindles and steering arms just flipped side-to-side. You cannot simulate the issues you're facing by just rolling it around on the shop floor with no engine in it. I'd love to see the look on your face...

    Coil over conversion for stock k member/steering

    So the hoops are fine (as I suspected) but you were commenting on not mounting the coil overs directly to the stock shock absorber mounts with no reinforcement?

    Coil over conversion for stock k member/steering

    I was checking out the GTS catalog to see about this new system and on the first web page they state: "Unlike some competitors, the GTS K frames use a built in upper coil over mounting point instead of using the factory weak shock mount. Factory shock mounts were never designed to take the...

    Need new suspension

    Really? From what I understood you don't even have an engine in your car yet. Why don't you give us your personal ride and drive report on the GTS suspension?

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    Yeah. you must have had it confused with something else. His process is 100% bolt in and it is reversible. In fact, you don't even have to cut anything off like you do on the others.

    I'm not aware of any mods to the frame rails with the HDK unless you are referring to the three small holes that you drill on each side for the shock support brace. Baby stuff.

    Best ifs kit? rms, hdk, gt suspension, or magnum force?

    No sweat. Although I was able to look at a GTS Facebook page I still can't figure out how to get those 3 pages shown in the screenshots above. Can somebody copy and paste a URL for any of them? I would really like to see them. Never mind. it's a closed group you have to join to see anything.

    Now I see it. You might have mentioned that you were searching under GT Suspension while I was searching under the three builders names (as I was told to), under Carl Gerst and under GTS so I did not see what you are posting. I am not a Facebook member so I am somewhat unfamiliar. Thank you.

    By the shadow on the floor it does look like a GST. If so, track width looks good. Better than any proof you could get from anybody on here.

    Pay attention! I'm not asking about RMS or HDK. Their stuff is already proven. I'm looking for validation not yet seen on the GST. If it's out there, great but I haven't been able to find anything.

    I will. This is the only mention I've seen of any actual customers outside of here. If any of these people are forum members I don't remember seeing them. How do you know about them?

    Best ifs kit? rms, hdk, gt suspension, or magnum force?

    where is this listed??? Is there a website? I haven't seen one picture of one of these in use or any published specs. I'd be calling b.s. until I heard some ride and drive reports online from independent users. jmho before I spent any money.

    I called Denny this morning to clarify the track width measurement criteria. He said that the HDK's 58" "hub-to-hub" measurement is at ride height (not control arms drooped) from the outside of the wheel mounting surface after the rotors are installed - Not from the spindle hub surface. If...

    That question above doesn't make sense. It's like asking "Are you going to Cleveland or are you going by bus?". There seems to be some confusion here. You guys are mixing the TYPE of the spindle with the BRAND of the spindle. The HDK uses a Mustang II (TYPE) 2" drop spindle that is...

    Absolutely, and that is what you will want to do. Put it together and see how it looks and fits with your wheel/tire combo.

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    I'm still waiting to hear on that installed hub face-to-hub face measurement. If you can get it down to the mentioned 58.5" it's still 1/4" a side wider than an HDK and anything wider is a non-starter for me. I want my front wheels to be tucked in like a stocker; not way out to the fender lips...

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    I'm a fan of all tubular coil-over conversion kits and I applaud any efforts to broaden the breed but I would like to see an actual measurement by an end user that illustrates that a 58.5" hub face - to hub face track width is achievable with this unit. That would be very important when...

    Gerst Tubular Suspensions

    Interesting. With that upper shock mount configuration I would really be surprised if the hub-to-hub track width is in the 58" range like an HDK. Anything wider is less than ideal and doesn't allow the mounting of normal to large diameter tires inside the confines of the front fenders. When...

    Nobody told me about this! And what? One genius already has to act like a mo-ron? Can't we just all get along in a mixed K-frame marriage? What's next? Dogs and cats living together? Nice web site. I hope it stays updated unlike some that get stale. Looking forward to falling asleep...
