Food for thought: If I were looking for something “trick” in a Mopar front suspension, I’d sure be talking to the super stock chassis guys before I’d talk to any parts peddlers that are clueless about what they sell.

Mandella, Keir and such have forgotten more about FAST Mopar suspensions that most will ever know.

About to just get the money back from my bank and buy the stuff from someone else

I'm not a front-end Guru but would it be possible to get enough adjustment out of adjustable upper control arms to get things. Adjusted and low enough without using a drop spindle.. or would shock length become an issue I wouldn't think you would require much travel upfront


Upper control arms will fix it for sure. I wanted to get the Magnumforce ones that are double adj. But now so turned off im about to dispute the charge with my bank and get the money back that way.
I use as much front travel as I can get, control it with the shocks. I have Santuffs up front.

In theory sounds good, BUT these guys usually don't hand that info out so easily. I have crawled under some SS Hemi darts and Cudas. You can tell that the front has been fudged with, but it does still look like "stock" parts as NHRA requires.

I know one example of a Gerst set-up in an A-Body that had flexing issues... tsk

Most, if not all, tubular upper control arms are built with additional caster in them. The only real advantage of the MF double adjustable is they can be adjusted on the car without taking them apart. If you buy heim ended arms, you should be able to rough in extra caster over stock prior to assembly and use the eccentrics to finalize it. Once its set, you likely won't be changing it regularly anyway.

But, you could look also at SPC if you want the on car adjustability.

Other places sell the drop spindles too, like Firm Feel, PST, and probably a few others.

Thanks I thought if the spindles were dropped it would raise the car.
My bad.
I need taller front tires to get oil pan clearance.
So that's out. Thankyou

At their pricing? work

I was thinking more Bernie Madoff.

Actually I wish them no malice, but one has to admit, they got the "sizzle" and marketing happening.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Hey Tony, doesn't QA1 sell tubular A arms? on another note a friend of mine actually from your neck of the woods bought a MF tubular front end for his big block Dart years ago and had many problems with the installation. Its actually in another friends Dart now but again it took some mods to make it work.

QA1 does make tubular arms, upper and lower for that matter, but they are the bushing style upper arms. I believe MF, Hotchkis, and SPC are the only companies out there making units that can be adjusted on the car. One could make a set with swedged tubes and ball joint plates from the Speedway Motors catalog, but this would require changing the arm mounting style to a through stud arrangement like a GM.
