Supplier for '68 Charger suspension??

[Rybar]

My buddy is about to order a front subframe and 4-link rear for his '68 Charger build. So far he has found a couple suppliers.

Reilly Motorsports and Magnumforce Racing.

I dont see any posts about these companies but if anybody has any insight or suggestions on what company (others as well) or direction to go please advise.

Thanks,
Ryan

You won't find many (if any) complaints regarding Reilly Motorsports AlterKtion kits. Speaking first hand, good product and good customer service. This would be a bolt in no fuss install.

AME, DSE, Roadster Shop etc...front ends can be grafted in.

I have seen pics and heard of issues regarding magnumForce in the past. And pass on XV motorsports.

If a stock K frame is in the cards, Hotchkis or FirmFeel.

We just finished up a pretty trick front subframe and rear 4-bar for the chargers. Details will be on our web site shortly. PM me if interested.

Rear suspension for the '68 was covered here:http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=18200.
Richard Ehrenburg is an automotive engineer and tech editor at MoparAction magazine. He has some well thought out objections to the AlterKation setup, which as I recall he views as a drag race suitable setup with no real world durability history. This may have changed in the last couple of years.
My first car was '69 R/T Charger 440/auto/3.23 posi I bought for 400 USD from a friend needing to get his girlfriend out of jail. It ran like a scalded ass ****in' ape after rebuilding the engine, and had enough top end to bounce the needle up around the 150 mph mark. I don't think it was anywhere near that fast, but trying to time it on the flying mile I got an honest 130 or so and could run away from about anything on the road in Montana back in those days.
Pretty scary ride on the wide/skinny tires musclecars had then.
I still own it and it is finally headed to the rotisserie for a teardown and rebuild. I have no need for an exotic engine swap or brake setup, or to get rid of the rear link steering, and I don't need a ProStreet look underneath, so 4 link or tube frame is out.
What I intend to do is go as far as I reasonably can with a stock type suspension setup, doing all the fabrication myself. I hope to try and approach the skid pad numbers of my dad's Z06 at a fraction of the cost, by stiffening, balancing, lowering what I have as much as practical.
What I want to do is give the car the braking and handling that it's potential power and speed deserve.
I was fortunate as a carpenter, mechanic, and now as an oilfield mud engineer to have worked around some very smart people. I found two things: I learned a lot more by listening to intelligent people who have walked the walk than I did by talking. I also learned never to discount anybody's practical experience, even when it disagrees with what I am pretty sure I already know.
Good luck, Mike

Here are a few pics of the kit that we have just finished up. The front is designed as a complete sub-frame. You would need to remove the front rails from the firewall forward. The subframe slides over the remaining factory rails and welds in place. The rear brackets saddle the factory frame rails and weld in place.

The green areas represent the factory frame rails that remain in place.

Beautiful work RS, my buddy got the info you sent me and is pretty serious about getting this front and rear. If so he will be ordering it pretty soon.

Any idea how low the vehicle can sit with this setup? I know that's a major factor for him.
