Does anyone know a company that makes components to upgrade the suspension on a 1970 Challenger. The car would be for street/strip.

it depends what you want from the suspension , strip modifications generally hurt cornering , you have to know exactly what you want to get the suspension to work properly

I want to adjust the drivetrain and stiffen the suspension to go from a 383 to a 600-700hp Hemi mostly for driving on the street, maybe a few passes on the strip once in awhile.

the Stock suspension can work extremely well , re-inforce the lower control arms , change the upper to tubular , use Poly bushings , thicker torsion bars around 1" , larger sway bars front & rear as well as good shocks Like QA1 or Edelbrock , add some good tires , keep the ride height low so the rear springs sit flat & the car can handle extrmemly well . XV told me that 50% of the gains from their system on a car was from the wheels & tires alone

That's true. Also doesn't help that PST doesn't post on here when they have new catalogues and deals going on like they do over on FABO.
