Product Description

The QA1 R253-175 Rear Coil-Over Conversion System is engineered to dramatically upgrade the handling, stance and adaptability of your classic 1968-1970 Mopar B-Body (Dodge Charger/Coronet, Plymouth Belvedere) by replacing the factory leaf spring rear suspension with a modern, triangulated 4-link coil-over setup. With included 175 lb/in springs and double-adjustable coil-over shocks, the system allows both ride height tuning and damping control independent of each other - delivering superior road, track or show performance.

Built with powder-coated tubular components including the crossmember, upper/lower trailing arms and hardware, the R253-175 kit offers robust durability, improved axle control, and clearance for larger wheels/tires and 3" bumper-exit exhaust systems. Note: this is a conversion kit that requires welding of the crossmember to the frame rails and tabs to the axle housing. It is compatible with Mopar 8 ¾" or Ford 9" rear housings - verify your vehicle's housing before purchase.

Ideal for enthusiasts restoring or building a modern performance version of the 68-70 B-Body Mopar, this QA1 R253-175 kit transforms your rear suspension into one that not only looks purpose-built but handles with precision at street, autocross or drag levels. Ensure your vehicle matches the fitment criteria (68-70 B-Body, correct axle housing) before ordering to avoid mis-fitment.
