: what mods would you all recommend to do on a 65
: barracuda to improve handleing other than
: just sway bars??

: I presume you already have a set of Addco sway
: bars or equivalent? Just wanted to make
: sure.
:
: The two other most important mods are probably
: shocks (I use KYB's on my Dart) and tires.
: Exactly what to go with depends on how much
: you want to spend. I use 50-series Yokohama
: AVS Intermediates on my Dart, which on
: 16" wheels cost me about $500. They'd
: probably be a little cheaper for 15"
: wheels. If you want to get really obsessive,
: you could put on some sort of R-compound
: (but still DOT legal) autocross tires, like
: Yokohama A032R's, Hoosiers, or Kuhmo
: Victoracers. They're about as close as you
: can get to road race slicks on the street.
: Some of those tires offer in excess of 1.0g
: of lateral grip.
:
: You can also put on stiffer springs. I'd go
: with 0.870" or 0.890" front
: torsion bars and 6-leaf station wagon
: springs from ESPO. Polyurethane bushings are
: availible from Energy Suspension. There's a
: trick with Moog (rubber) offset upper
: control arm bushings to get more caster.
:
: For the truly obsessive, you can gusset the
: K-member, install Magnum Force tubular upper
: control arms, weld in subframe connectors
: and an 8-point roll cage, etc.

:
: I use KYBs on my Dart also, and they have been
: on there for over 15 years. The part numbers
: are in the database.
