What are tho options for Cuda/Challenger PT type suspensions?

[Ripped]

Yeah it's bad, when I get the ideas about doing another car. Anyway so skip to the hard part, while I was surfing the net, I did not see many good options for a track-inspired pro touring type suspension for the cuda and challenger.

Most of the stuff I am seeing is semi-pro-street

Is that the case, or am I looking in the wrong places?

I don't think there are a ton of options like there are for Chevy or Ford builds. XV Motorsports is the first one that comes to mind. I'm sure Morrison and Roadster shop have full frames as well!

I don't think there's much to choose from. When and if you do find something, guess what? >>>>>

I remember watching Graveyard Carz a while ago and they upgraded a 71 Cuda using suspension parts from this place:

Yes you're looking in the wrong places!

We have a full chassis available for 68-70 B body, 70-74 E-body.

They are the only one out there that "bolts in" to the car with minimal floorpan mods.. Unlike more universal chassis that require you to cut the whole floor out, build mounts, or weld it to the rockers.

Where have we been? Well the B-body chassis was introduced in 2009-2010 and the E-body in 2011.

I'm a Mopar guy building a Challenger PT version also. There are several choices out there depending on what you want. Not all are as easy and as high end as the GM crowd but still viable.

Gerst (GTS) Suspension-Front and back with a watts link option for rear also. Rack system. Newer to the market but gaining a following.

Reilly Motorsports (RMS)-front and back. Rack system.

Magnum Force-front and back but only do the transformer version front with the shock tower braces for a PT ride to get the coil over support away from the frame rails as Mopars were designed for torsion bar loads. Rack system.

Control Freak-front and back. Rack system.

XV Motorsports/Racing-front based on C6/C7 Vette arms and good geometry. Rear 3-link. Rack system. Original owners did a lot of R & D.

QA1-mostly improved factory items. Very reasonable.

Firm Feel-stock upgrades.

Hotchkis Suspension-Uses the factory style upgraded torsion bars with very good UCAs for geometry and leafs in rear. Lots use just the front with some sort of 4-link/PT rear suspension. Fox body shocks. Their system rocks. Just check out the YouTube videos of their yellow E-Max Challenger and then go to a Goodguys AutoX and get a ride. You may not even consider a different front. Plus the factory suspension keeps a tight turning radius and good ackerman steering angle which most of our mopar rack conversions compromise on greatly. Many use the tighter ratio Borgeson box with this set-up for PT.

These above are more or less bolt in.

If you have some fabrication skills:
Yes Schwartz

Roadster Shop-they have some items not listed on their website. Either full frame, clips or universal weld-in.

DSE-use their universal X-gen front weld-in IFS and then one of their either Camaro or Mustang rear Quadralink and order it un-welded. That's what I'm doing for my rear.

Ron Sutton-go all out!

Thanks, everyone for all the informative responses. It's a good number of choices to start investigating options.
Next I guess I will have to look at powertrain options. I'll have to figure out the weights vs HP of the B and RB engines vs the modern crate engine offerings.

For the longest time, I was a small block mopar guy. It might be hard to get out of that frame of mind.
