1303 to Balljoint

Anybody seen or heard of changing over a strut set-up to standard balljoint suspension? I seem to remember a car way back in the 90's but could'nt find anything looking through old magazines. Imagine the narrowed front end and super slammed stance you could get - OK so its a bunch of work but it would make a neat custom....?

It would be easier (no pan mods) to put the hood,front fenders, and apron on a STD with narrowed beam. The trunk of a super would not clear a torsion beam. You could weld a new ball joint frame head on the SB, and cut out the trunk area if you really want to go through with it. IMO though, you have more options with struts than torsion style.

Hi

Why would you bother going backwards? Just slam it with struts.
