Getting reay to restore my 69 Charger want to upgrade all suspension components, better to buy a kit or individual pieces? Was gonna get the MP rear leaf springs and torsion bars, but then I noticed one of the suspension companies had thicker bars for about 100 less, like to stay in 2-3 range or as low as possible. -BD

My choices were:
Front: > Firm Feel LCA, greasable pins & Poly bushes, reinforced > Original Hemi K-Member braced/reinforced > QA1 double adjustable shocks > Firm feel 1.06 torsion bars > Magnumforce double adjustable UCA (NOW replacing with Hotchkis) > Firm Feel 1-1/4 front sway bar > RMS adjustable strut rods > Fatman 2" drop spindles (NOW replacing with Magnumforce 2" dropped spindles) > Firm feel HD tie rods (NOW being replaced with Hotchkis) > Wilwood 14" slotted vented drilled discs > Wilwood TC6R Radial mount 6-piston calipers (custom mounting brackets as these are the largest calipers made by Wilwood) > Firm Feel Stage 2 Power Steer box [principally because I was not happy either running the full front weight/load of the vehicle through the upper shock tower (Magnumforce), or the visual look of the RMS/XV systems]
Rear: > Unlawfulracing 4-link system (can't say enough good things about this system!) - check it out at unlawfulracing.com > holding in the Dana (Moser) 60 with Wilwood 14" discs & 4-piston calipers.
My setup, I am sure it has some disadvantages, but overall I am happy with the front setup remaining on the original style crossmember.
