Hi Im new to Mopar. But I think im converted. I have a 67 Barracuda that I am building. I baught it 5 years ago with my father and it has pretty much sat in the garage. I dont know the feeling of the people of this site so please dont get offended when I say im not restoring it to original. Infact Im building a bad @$$ street Strip Car. I have recently come into a position where I can actually afford the time and money to get this thing built. I have some questiones and thought this would be the place to ask them. First of all are the RMS front end and 4 link rear kits worth the money. Remember this will be a street driven car Im gonna guess 90 % with the ocasional trip to Epping and Naperville. Would like top hear from people that have actually used these parts. Thanks in advance

Welcome to FABO. You're gonna have fun here.
Our club (Inland Mopars Car Club) built a '68 Valiant with a 400cid big block as our charity project car last year and used both the RMS front and rear suspension. I'd say both are well worth the money depending on what your goals are.
Our Valiant was intended as more of a street handler than a strip terror and the finished product handled like a new Corvette. I can't speak for strip traction as we never took it down a timed quarter mile. I'd check with 'AbodyJoe' and get his reaction as I believe he's got both the front and rear setup on his Dart.
One thing for sure, the AlterKtion front suspension will give you tons of room for headers and the oil pan.
I'm not sure on how limited you may be on wheel/tire width using the StreetLynx rear suspension setup.

Good luck with your project and make sure to keep including pics as you progress.

Here's a pic of our clubs finished '68 Valiant.

RMS and 4 link are the only way to go if you want unlimited space in the engine compartment and Mustang like handling.

I can only account for 10 miles on mine but those 10 miles were sweet and I am almost ready to get back on the road.....interior work as of now has slowed me down.

Come see my thread under fat blue fish build....you can see the RMS stuff there.

Enjoy building it your own way.
