I am getting ready to relocate my springs in my dart, going with split mono's and Smith Assassin bars.
Has anyone played around with using longer front spring segments?
I shouldn't be hitting the tire too hard, with a turbo SB and a low SLR, but I like the idea of pushing the IC out a little farther. I'm also planning to have adjustable front holes and sliders.

I am pretty sure Thumper ran chevrolet leafs on his Dart so he could have the longer front segment.

DO IT.....even a low horsepower car needs a real tight shock to control that short front segment.
id rather have more adjustability in the shock to control the hit on the tire

Definitely go with the longer front spring segment and the sliders. Good set of double adjustable shocks are a must also.
