Coil-over setup

[J-440]

Sappenin everyone, I just got off of Magnumforce's website looking at their coil-over setup for B-bodies. They say to use their coil-over-shock setup, that the torsion bars must be removed. How can that be when the entire front-end pretty much bolts up with the torsion bars? And if you do have to remove them, what's going to become of the spare holes underneath the car where the bars used to be? If anyone has a coil-over setup, please let me know something. Thanks and have a good one.

Simple, T bars are removed and the front of the car is now on the new front end meaning the T bars are now for sale. You no longer need or use them.
The holes left behind should be pluged. How you plug them is up to you. Surely there is a grommet out there to fit the bill. Somewhere. Home Depot? (LOL)

be careful with coil over setup, puts all the weight of the car on the inner fender. the t bars are designed to take a good portion of the weight of the front end, and now you are putting it all where the shocks used to be.....

as you can see, the coilover is not supported by inner fenders, but by K frame itself. I emailed them and got a response stating that they are hoping for a B body system soon

DKN, thanks for the website bro, it looks pretty promising. That Dart is set up for the 1/4, I'm more interested in road racing but I'm assuming that the suspension can be adjusted for hard cornering and braking? I gotta long ways to go before I buy something like that, I'm just now getting started on the body and motor for my 68 Charger. Thanks for the input guys, have a good one.
