Won alot and dominated the Trans Am circuit.......yes

But correct me if I'm wrong... Those weren't totally stock..... And THAT WAS 40+ YEARS AGO!!!!!!

And then people pull out magazine articles from the 70's to discuss suspension design? You have got to be kidding me.....

Things change with time......design and technology change.....if you don't like the RMS kit then fine..... But to tout suspensions that dominated 40 years ago is ridiculous

The RMS kit has its flaws and isn't for everyone.... And that's okay.... But stop living in the past

Guys.... It's okay to not live in the 70's still..... It's okay to not keep your mopar 100% stock original.....

Let it go...... Last I checked it's 2012..... Not 1970

If you want to drive a car that feels like and handles like the "top of the line in 1970" then that's your choice.... Some of us choose to evolve alittle and have open minds for newer stuff

Show me some failures...... And give me a good reason why no one but big trucks still use torsion bars

Stop living in the past?? You do KNOW that this site is dedicated to cars from the past right?

Listen, I don't much care what anyone does with their cars and YES I do want to drive a car that "feels and handles like top of the line 1970" (you say that like it's a bad thing! )

Honestly I have nothing bad to say about Alterkation or any of the other aftermarket suspension systems out there, HOWEVER to imply that the stock Mopar torsion bar setup was a bad design or inadequate to the task of driving (even spirited driving) on todays streets is just dead wrong.

Yes it's an old design just like the cars they were installed in, the engines that powered them, etc. etc.

Though I don't care if people want to make thier car into a mix of old and new, you are right that I just don't understand the desire. If I wanted to drive a new car, I'd buy one. ....or better yet I'd go out into the garage and hop in the Mercedes which does pretty much everything better than ANY 1970 car in 1000X the comfort. I still like my old Superbee better though....weird, huh?
