Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Cheers guys.
Yes Miles..........Think peak HP would be around 5.5k so not much point in spanking it any more than that (plus i want to keep it in one piece for as long as i can)!

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Thanks Chaps.
Was good to see you too Shayne.
Not sure why the photo is being rotated 90 Degree's when i upload form my phone..........??
Anyway,
I think someone asked a while ago the difference when going to SS Springs.
Namely do they Lean to one side?
Will they make the rear end ride really high and give it the raked look?
The originals no doubt sag over time and i have no idea if these on the car are the originals from 72. I have no reason to know for definate, but going by the look of the rear end (all the same shade of dirt/brown), then i say probably Yes!

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Cool, thats going to make a difference you can feel. Doing pretty much the same thing on the Barracuda at the moment.

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
With those taller tyres and the springs I reckon the rear could go up by as much as 3".
“This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around”
Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Hoping for between 1" and 2".
3" would be a little bit drastic, but proper 70s!
By pure coincidence the tyres on the new and existing wheels in the photo are identical, 235/60/15.
So the finished height should show the change as suspension mods only.

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
I'm hoping that the offset shackle kit will allow me to possibly squeeze a 275 tyre in its place.
