The aftermarket coil over suspension answers the question that didn't need to be asked. You spend $5000 to perform no better AND to step backward from stock durability and safety. Clearance issues? So what? For half of the RMS $5000 cost you can upgrade the stock setup to handle better and still have $2500 left over for $800 headers. Lighter? Not by much....In most cases, you're comparing a stock setup with power steering to your manual steering setup. Of course yours will weigh less. These kits are based on the Ford Pinto design from 1971. No lie, look it up. Being new and different does not make these kits an improvement.

For people like us we have the option of leaving it stock.

Exactly!!! the cost is ridiculous nearly 5k for unnecessary weight reduction and few inches of clearance I am better off running the exhaust thru the firewall and call it a day

+jb suzy It won't corner - will understeer like a pig.... And isn't the best part of the VH it's tail happy nature? :) Edit: Whups, thought you meant Charger,.... You'll go from small boat to C-body boat handling ;)

PiDsMedia Wha?

CRS make a double A arm kit for VE-CM. It Includes 280mm rotors, single piston calipers. 2" drop spindles etc for $4500AUD and requires no cutting or welding.

Sweet might try it

+purplehazenilsp Weight will go up - all the extra bracing in the frame needed for the coil-overs. Yes, the factory Torsion bars keep that mass lower in the chassis for better handling, and have better force translation characteristics (they transfer load evenly at all points of contact, coil-overs put it over on one side of their mounts), which is why when you look at Formula One you see Torsion Bars and not Coil-Overs.

​@@PiDsPagePrototypes F1 use torsion bars because they use less space/parts and are lighter in the F1 application. Mopar torsion setup is nothing like that. These kits typically drop 150lbs off the front end bracing included. If it handles worse your settings/rates are wrong. You would need thicker torsion bars to compare, only compounding the weight issue and you still lack the comp/rebound from a good coilover. I love old school engineering too but there is good reason competitive auto cross race cars of this type use similar setups to the kit shown. Torsion is fine if all you do is drag race.

@@dangerouskoin4874 So much Nope in your statement. Fitting coil overs to the front of a MoPar REQUIREs adding more sheet metal bracing to the inner guard if you want the car to be safe. The area of the inner guard above the upper control arm mount, Does Not have the strength for the vehicle mass to sit on, as would happen with the use of Coil Overs. Torsion Bars have always been superior in ride and contact patch control, but there's more easy access to the knowledge to tune coil overs, that is why people think they're better. And once you go bigger, say up to Rally Trucks (Dakar, not Baja toys) Torsion bar layout is much better, to everything except a pure airbag system. Compression/Rebound comes from the Damper, not the Spring, which is why they're actually not called 'shock absorbers', but 'Spring Dampers'. Competitive Auto Cross use Coil Overs because they're Cheaper, and because they're easier for less skilled folk to tune - your average workshop mechanic can get them close, but it requires a talented Chassis Engineer to tune Torsion bars.

I've worked around those awful headers, starter, torsion bars, and engine set to the passenger side for years. This is how the factory should have done it to start with. And no, a rack on the front side of the crossmember does not necessarily hurt the Ackermann angles or bump steer. Where that was causing problems was guys swapping the lower ball joints from side to side, then using spacers up to the rod ends. Yeah, it put the tie rod attachment points toward the front instead of the back, but it changed the Ackermann geometry and allowed for some odd toe angles, especially under jounce and rebound. This system uses new spindles that I would hope eliminate that problem.... at least I wouldn't assume it messes the geometry up until I've had it on a rack or at least measured, which I wish they had done at the end of this video.

if you are a moron and highway drive in low anything with throw rods out the oilpan,nuff said.im out.............
