If I was trying to hook this car up, I'd move the battery to the trunk first then do what ever your going to do withthe rear springs. I'd make sure the pinion angle is correct, add a pinion snubber set correctly meaning down for autocross, up for drag, then play with the rear shock adjustment. I...

How much power are you trying to hook up?

Pictures for the non-psychic?

I installed the US Car Tool. Very nice! Highly recommend.

Fix what ever needs it, front bar, frame ties, then shocks.

Fix it and move on.

Looks like the answer is personal preference without any data to back things up. Suits me, I was hoping somebody out of 40K members had found or did some testing and would be able to share.

I'll bites, so what is superior about yours as opposed to all others.

To say these cars were poorly built does not take into account how they are designed to fold up to dissipate energy. To add all the strength of these mods defeats the manufactures design. Having said this, I don't care and welded in US Car Tool ties and will be adding torque boxes. I believe...

It may work, but I wouldn't trust them. I bought a set of Mopar Performance and sent them right back. Spindly looking with no serious strength benefit that I could tell. Ended up buying US Car Tool weld in set, much better. They look like they were meant to be there.

Lets see some pics of what your dealing with.

They are $287.00 at their site. http://www.hotchkis.net/product/1967-1975-dodge-plymouth-a-body-sub-frame-connectors-with-108-in-wheelbase/ Buy em, use em, or resell them and get you some more parts for you're car. I personally used the weldin ones from US Car Tool, very well made and fit...

Sweetness! OEM stuff! Can you show the part#s on the boxes? I save this stuff to do research with.

Don't know if this would be of any help to you but maybe someone. http://www.kyb.com/knowledge-center/shock-tech-for-pros/how-to-measure-shocks/ http://www.bilsteinus.com/downloads/product-information/ http://www.qa1.net/

"That's what I'm trying to get at, one size fits all for the RCD shocks regardless of vehicle model, weight, torsion bars or handling improvements."

So what was the hot ticket to use before the RCD Bilsteins arrived on the scene? KYB?

Did Bilstien ever make a shock to fit the A-body line? If they did, anybody know the old stock part #s. I saw a members car on here that was in one of the rod magazines, it was about handling and had Bils shocks on it. The article was from the early 2000's era.

Mine are weld ins that fit the profile of the floor. The car was raised 24" and stands place as far outboard as possible on the rear axle and under the ball joints in the front. The car was then jounced to settle the suspension and let to set on the stands until I was able to weld them in. My...

I'm about ready to weld in the US Car Tool frame ties. A couple of pics of the fitment. These ties are being held in place by a single metal screw at each end. No grinding, fit perfect. I need to run a wire brush along the weld site seams to make sure everything is shiny clean and its off to the...

You don't "need" a rack to do the adjustments but by the time you've leveled, squared, checked ride height and wheel runout just to start the alignment, a rack starts looking pretty easy to work with. Also if there is a problem, setup and readjusting is very quick. A magnetic hub guage will...

Not everybody has the time, expertise or tools to do this type work. I was a B&A tech for several companies in the 70's/80's and I wouldn't do my own alignment today without a rack. It's nearly impossible to get an alignment right without squaring the car. Its alright if you just want to set...

Or you could find a tech in your area that knows what he's doing and can diagnose and repair. Look for a company with a frame rack and does a good job. Ask around at several quality body shops.

If it's any help to you heres some pics of the MP and Cartool connectors.

I bought the the USCARTOOL and am happy with them. I first bought the MP ties from Jegs, they looked spindley and not up to the job, so I took them back.

http://www.autobodyspecialt.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=MP-395 Might help.

I have not installed these yet but here are some pics of the 111" MP and Car Tool connectors. There are some very nice pics by member Rbob of his install. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=316498 I did not like the looks of the MP's, they were not well made and looked...

Thanks guys!! Great pictures and sweet install. I knew there would be mods to fit the floor and have not run any lines or exhaust yet because of all the unknowns. Hoping to get them installed pretty soon so I can do all the rest.
