Does this need raising?

Post by vipergts »

Been toying with this for a while and it Bananarama! me

Does this need raising? I know they should have that typical stance but not keen on the drastic stance but I'm thinking this almost looks like the rear suspenders has broken?

It has 1.5" blocks currently?

I personally think a Charger (or Coronet) has more attitude with the rear end up and a nice rake to the car....but I am clearly biased as I run Super Stock Springs on the higher setting.....I am not talking LONG '70's Shackles here ;) ;) ;)

Pretty much with Pete on this.
Sitting level they appear to be low at the back due to the arch design.
Top of tyre I would say is about max for me. ;)
With a bigger profile tyre on the rear.

Thinking about putting steels on it 10s and 8s x 15 but I think 295/50 up back will rub

Offset Hangers (Perch re-work) and you should be good to go with those big puppies....

I am running 12.5" x 29.5"s on 15" rims but a Coronet has much larger quarters.....

295s can be touch and go as the axle is rarely centred correctly. I tried them on my 73 RR with cavernous wheel wells and one side still rubbed
