Looking for AlterKations website

[Brandon Miller]

Anyone got it? They do IFS subframes for Mopars.

I thought about running it, but they use a propreitary spindle that would have prevented me from running my 13" front discs.

I have one.

And the sky's the limit for Mustang II brakes.

Here is a post I did on another board about it - pretty much all the info I know about it.

Installed it in Poison Dart, don't like it.
Steering rack hit the pan even with the recomended pan.
Sway Bar hit the coil over springs, requiring mods to the sway bar.
Sat about 4" too high. requiring me to buy another companies dropped spindles and modify to work, and raise the rear of the car as a compromise to get the right stance/rake.
After all that the cross member was really close to the ground.
Also track width was very wide making it difficult to find wheels that would work
It looks to me like it's designed for drag racing.
I'd design me own next time, or radically modify the Alterkation stuff.
my opinion.

That's interesting Jeff, I hadn't heard of anybody that was unhappy with the AlterK.

Poison Dart sure looks impressive!

Just a few questions, out of curiousity. Not because I'm disputing you, but because I'm curious...

Steering rack hit the pan even with the recomended pan.

What kind of pan? Mine's a mile away.

Sway Bar hit the coil over springs, requiring mods to the sway bar.

What kind of swaybar? Are you talking about the end links?

Sat about 4" too high. requiring me to buy another companies dropped spindles and modify to work, and raise the rear of the car as a compromise to get the right stance/rake.

4"? That's a mile! That was with the spring adjusters all the way down? I've seen pics of your car, is it much lower than stock? My biggest problem was actually getting it to sit HIGH enough.

After all that the cross member was really close to the ground.

As far as I know, it's 1/4" lower than stock - and then only at the brackets that mount the rack. It just looks lower because it's a straight edge - the factory K is slanted. Is it different with the A-Body? I have a B-Body.

Also track width was very wide making it difficult to find wheels that would work

This IS an issue. However, I just got wheels with a lot of backspacing. Anything over 16" will clear the rod ends. I also believe this is desirable as far as scrub radius is concerned (having the balljoints located further inside the rim).

It looks to me like it's designed for drag racing.

It was - however there are a couple road racers out there with them I believe. I can't see how it couldn't be an improvement over stock - what with all the alignment settings having adjustments way past the factory specs. You were lucky if you could get 2* of caster out of the stock setup - now you can go all the way up to 6* or 7* if you want.

My biggest gripe is the turning radius - kind of a pain when parking.
