Jim (62BT409) just had me complete a winter update on his Hemi Demon.
He had me replace the heavy GM calipers with a Willwood set up like my
car has and also got the new style shock support hoops as his were a very
early version. He wanted to try the new QA1 12" shocks which have 5 3/8"
of travel and use a 400 Lb spring versus the 500 lb for a 10" shock.
Just about ready to go and then HemiMark's 528" injected Barracuda is going
to shed the Magnum Force front suspension in favor of an HDK.

Waiting to hear how it sits and rides with the 12" lighter springs since thats the last piece for my front end I haven't bought yet, looks like it might have paid off to drag my feet a little on this one.

We didn't think you were dragging your feet.
We thought you were busy building trick fixtures to mount stuff on.
More weight for his car ;) With the additional items added.

speakin of added weight .......the valve covers are at least 10 lbs each.
the Demon sits exactly how it did before....upper fender lip 25" off the floor. ...the ride has softened up a tad and it has an additional 1-1/4" of suspension travel. It now takes 400 lbs of pressure to push the front down 1"....before it took 500 lbs, so it is 20% softer. I took a 5 mile drive before the rain came today to seat the brakes ....the RR tracks are definately smoother .

I am eagerly awaiting the vision of the finished valve covers.
There are going to be some confused and curious onlookers at
the shows next summer and watching them is half of the fun.

I'm pretty sure your SuperSlammer is too low for those 12" coilovers.....I think 10" will work OK.

About the same size as well......
