anyone running them? since i took off the big tire out back, i lowered my front even more and i'm not liking the looks of the angle the lower ball joint is on. not to mention, the camber also.
anyone have opinions about this?
i also think the torsion bar would be more productive

who makes them for E bodys? I agree, lowering the car with torsion bar adjuster is not the best way to do it. My car was like that when i bought it and I had to replace both LCAs that had a crack right where the bar connects to it.

iam using the fatmans,i dont think my susp. will work without them. fatmans are 2 inch spindales. here is a note from the new ones from magnum......first time i read they are 3 1/2 inches dropped  How low will my Mopar sit? The typical dimension of greatest importance is that of the forward-most edge of the frame (core support area) to the ground. This dimension ranges from 10"-12" but is altered by tire diameter and the installed height of the coil over assy. It is not recommended to adjust the coilovers lower for suspension geometry and misalignment reasons, unless our dropped spindles are used, which can allow the car to go another two inches lower for a total of 3-1/2" lower. Custom headers may be required if using our 3-1/2" dropped spindles unless big diameter wheels are used (ie 20"). Here is a more accurate dimension accrued from a 73 Cuda. With a 24" tire and the coilovers at 12" installed height, the distance from the ground to the frame is 11-1/2". This suspension has 4-1/2" of travel measured at the spindle tip
