1971 Charger SE Suspension Rebuild

[Flash]

Looking to rebuild my suspension and replace shock/struts etc.

I found this kit from Firm Feel, would this be a good kit?

What about control arms, stick with Form Feels or would some adjustable SPC Performance control arms be a better choice?

Could someone recommend shocks, torsion bars, leaf springs? My torsoon bars and leaf springs seem to be original.

What is your ultimate goal ? If it's a simple, stock rebuild, just replace the worn parts ( ex, LCA bushings, LCA ball joints, shocks ). What's wrong with your T-bars & springs ? For a stock vehicle, they're fine just as is.

Really just a quality refresh of the suspension to support some fun driving. Do you recommend an alternative kit to Firm Feel?

The torsion bars looked fairly rusted and some of the cars looked to have scaled off from rust. But the springs and torsion bars are the last thing I plan to replace if needed.

When I last had the an alignment done, there was not enough travel remaining to in the upper controll arm adjustment, so that's why I was considering the SPC control arms. Any idea if those would be compatible?

That's a good way to go about it, replacing the wearable parts. The LCA bushings are a must, since they bear the load. I prefer the tubular UCA from PST which I have in one of my cars, and I would do so again since it gives enough positive caster adjustment.

Gotcha, how do I find sponsors? I'm on mobile so IDK if I can see them.
