Just mapped out our plan for dad's Challenger regarding getting the front lower and bringing the car to a halt. I contacted Magnum Force regarding their 2 inch drop spindles, and it sounds like they are the solution to getting the front end down without losing suspension travel. With the rear dropped about 2 inches, these spindles should get us right where we need to be. Aside from their lower ball joints, there aren't any special parts that would lead to issues bolting on any other suspension or braking components.
Also available on their website are braking systems by Wilwood. We will start off with with just a setup for the front for now. Wilwood offers a 12.19 rotor that is cross drilled with 4 piston calipers. Add their 1 in bore master cylinder and we are good to go. Hopefully my dad will order up these parts in the near future, so we can mark them off the list.
I'm still trying to find the time to make it down to my parents' house to try and get a little more tear down accomplished, as well as stripping of the underbody in preparation of painting it with por-15.
I'm excited about the 2012 Detroit Autorama this weekend, and hope to get a few more ideas for the Challenger, and maybe a couple for my Camaro too! We should make some significant progress on the Challenger this year, while still shooting for the car seeing the road in 2013.
