Custom suspension for the 72 Charger

Does anyone have experience with some of the modern bolt in tubular k-member/ coilover front suspension kits for Mopars? I know a person can only upgrade the stock suspension so much and still have old engineering under the car. I'm considering some other options. Expensive, yes, but they look like well spent money and I've been saving for a project.

Also, has anyone used any 4 link or the like for their b body that they would recommend?

Thanks guys and gals-

I still am not crazy about the aftermarket bolt on stuff. Think about this, where is the weight distributed to on the original cars? Through the torsion bars and to the rear torsion crossmember. I still dont think that the original front stub should take the complete force of the spring type suspension. If you could reinforce the front stub than maybe yes. (think rollcage). I dont know, maybe i'm wrong

I know that one of the kits doesn't use the shock tower at all; it is self sustaining. But I understand what you mean, the whole front end weight is just way up front and not supported bu the crossmember further back with the torsion bars. I plan on a cage and sub-frame connectors as well as other bracing. If I do the front end gear. Nothing is easy that's worth doing is it?
