Anyone using the alterkation front suspension. Very high dollar but they look nice in the pictures.

I'm not running aftermarket suspension, but I can tell you that I haven't heard any complaints about the AlterKtion.

I have one, but it is not in the car yet. It is a very nice setup.

have had one in my dart since 2006. mostly all street miles on it too. its awesome. car handles great. only thing i changed was i went to a power rack in 2009 i think it was. like already stated, rms customer service is second to none. and the alter-k is a true bolt in. could not believe how easy that thing went in. hell my 11 year old at the time installed the passenger side by himself its so easy..


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Those are nice pictures! If you have high resolution versions of those pictures I might be able to use them in a book that I'm working on. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Looks like you still have to run a notched oil pan. Same thing on my MF unit, the front of the pan has to be notched to clear. Wish I could run a full dragster pan...

Charlie's makes a pan that is notched for these. I just notched a standard Moroso 7 qt pan for mine. Little bit if time to do, but not much. A lot cheaper than the Charlie's pan.

As others have said - Top notch well engineered solution that simply cant be beat. Period.

I know of only 1 minor issue with them that wont affect 99.99% of the people out there - so im not gonna bring it up. (Has to do with how I'm applying it - not an engineering problem at all). I already have a fix.

GO FOR IT - you'll be glad you did!

On the same subject, sort of. Does this setup accomodate for virtually any engine setup? Big block or 5.7,6.1? I'm gonna call but wondering for those who has put on in.

yes but you have to tell them what motor your running because the mounts on the frame are different for the hemi

Or in my case (V10), you can specify no mounts and fab your own.

Thanks for the great pics and the feedback. Now have the cap auto front end and cannot keep front end aligned? Still trying to find out why.

Correct

Small/big block use the same k- frame and mount points

2 gen hemi is it own

and 3 gen hemi is another.

Bill uses poly spool type motor mounts too

If you put a "car" 5.7 in a B Body with an Alterktion, TTI cannot make a header that will fit around the starter...if you use the w5a580 transmission as well. The starter gets in the way.
here is a pic of mine in my 70 GTX, not done yet so I can't comment on the ride, however, I have read many threads about this and EVERYONE who has done it , loves it.
It was a piece of cake to install.
