Stances: How's She Sittin?.. Attitude Adjustments

[Brock Samson]

Well we all have different ideas of how we want out chargers to sit, some low in front, high in back. Some Lowered,.. Some high and mighty,.. some sit that way cause the engine is missing,. what's your feelings on this pressing issue?..
Post your pics here... 

I got the jackrabbit thing goin on due to my S.S. springs....

That looks great.  I prefer the low in front and high in the back.   However I could go with the old style drag setup with the high front.

I like the lower in the front look.

i suspect it's approx the same as 8 wheelers' who's got the red lowered '68 R/T.. this look says to me more G.T. then Super Stock...

That car is just right!! Don't change a thing.

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

i like the high up front superstocker look

[Silver R/T]

all around lowered looks nice on 2nd gens or raised rear

[terrible one]

As Strat already knows, I Like the low in the front, high in the rear.

[41husk]

Rear in the air anytime possible

[MassCharger73]

My preference is the Oly Charger stock car stance.

[472 R/T SE]

I'm working on this right now as a matter of fact, gotta crank on the bars now as it's nose is high.

Doug's '70 has the stance I'm trying to copy again.   I t worked on the blue car.

Gotta watch this thread for more ideas. 

[Brock Samson]

i was hopin you guys and gals...    would post some pics of your cars and how they sit, as well as pics of your Favorite Chargers,.. or other b-bodys...

[6pkrunner]

The classic low/raised look. Best for musclecars - escpecially the long B bodys.

[JimShine]

My car is currently jacked up in the front. It wasn't choice, but I bought way too large a tire and needed clearance. I will be getting smaller ones soon and fixing the air shocks in the rear as well.

[Johnny SixPack]

I like the stance on my "70:



Better now with the new tires, and even better now that the frontend was lowered just a hair bit more.

Will get some pix once she returns.

[SeattleCharger]

   Did someone mention "Hign in front, low in back"?      Here is my front raised up '68.  heh   

          The 440 is out of it right now,   does anyone know how much the front might lower and the rear raise when the motor goes back in?

  I plan on putting taller and wider tiires on the rear and lowering the front extra, then put on a front air dam , some other site member has one on his Charger he said he got from a '69 Camaro, ya, it looks good, don't laugh.  heh.   Anyone know who's car that is I am talking about? got a pic?
Thanks, Nate

[Khyron]

I like high in back, low in front. I would post a pic of my charger.... however


*drumroll* she's in the shop getting a 3 inch flowmaster 40's exaust put on her. and the new springs will be on this weekend with the new 15inch rims in the back with some meat on the tires

[Chris 69]

Higher in the back, low in the front looks great!

Here's my '68.

Alright, I have tried to photochop my Charger to give it the stance I am going for with it...higher in front, lower in back. I also put slots on it. Needless to say it turned out horrible. Here it is anyways  :

[Charger4404spd]

I lowered the front of mine an inch or so. Wished it was a bit lower.

[Mike DC]

  
Could there be a Universal Formula ?

I think 9/10ths of the time it's the same heights that looks right on an old muscle car, no matter what kind of car and no matter what wheel/tire combo it has:  The center of the rear wheel is about even with the bottom edge of the rocker panel, and then the front end should be a small (but noticeable) amount lower than that.

(Is this your car, Charger-440-4spd?  I just surfed a pic out of the net randomly.)

 

[Charger4404spd]

Nope, mine is above. Your pic is a 70.

actually that ain't so bad, has a nicce rake to it.  what's the problem.
GO WITH IT!!

[Chris G.]

Mine has always sat a little high in the front. Most people like it, but I'm the real judge and jury. Maybe I'll finally lower it this year an inch or two. I will die before I add air shocks btw.

[mikepmcs]

Man that car is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no problems, that's exactly how I want it to look wheel size, tire size, and stance wise. I meant that the image didn't come out well at all because I spent 20 minutes on it.

[dkn1997]

lowered in the front, original 40 year old springs in the rear, afraid to change them because I don't want to lose the stance!!!

[chardart440]

bought the car like this and never touched it,what do you think?

My formula (hey, that's my name even! ) is to make the window trim (where the cool people rest their arm) parallel with the ground.

Gives it a near perfect aggressive stance IMO.

i really like this, all biz. maybe he's carryin thefronts alittle,.. looks great!

I like my red car low, only time I have had any problems was the 24yrs I had headers on it. So every time
you came to a speed bump ''well you know the drill'' take it at an angle go slow and hope for the best. I have had
stock manifolds on it for 3yrs now no problems at all.
My other cars are kept at stock height.

[Brock Samson]

now im of the opinion that a down in front looks great when the front tire is looking slightly tucked up in the wheel well this also has the effect of making the tire look smaller of course of which it is. the rear should fill the whell well like a slick, with a good finger of room between the top of the tire and the stainless trim ring or wheel well lip.
the front end high look, looks like the car is carrying the fronts as in a good launch of a fast car...
so that at rest a look like Oranges Crushs' (my fav. of the high and mighty look) seems to be accelerating while sitting still. 
  thanks for your input guys. love the pics!
 

[Brock Samson]

this pic got me to thinkin I'd really like to see some others like it....

or in other words....
"Bump"

[SnoPro440]

Here is mine when it was with its previous owner in Colorado.

[Brock Samson]

yeah another dark blue charger... 

i like the ass high - front down look myself....
superstock springs will do that though...
