Hello AMC Universe!
I am a Mopar guy building a 70 Javelin.
Can anyone recommend a full front suspension and brake kit?
Many thanks

Control freaks if you want a bolt in setup.
I have a Fatman Fabrication IFS in my car and now I see another one from Streetrod engineering with both of these being weld in units but significantly cheaper. They all have good and bad things about them but IMO are better than stock but definitely cost more.

Eaton Detroit Spring can take care of you for the rear leafs, also front coils if you need them.

Very nice looking setup, Coloradoamx.  I am contemplating rebuilding my original 73 Javelin suspension but I am curious regarding these custom/alternative front ends compared to a rebuilt OEM setup?  What are the specific benefits for a better ride or handling on a street car?  Thanks.

I believe that Viking has coil over shocks with a tapered spring.  So the spring uses the upper factory seat.  You need to fabricate a lower mount to replace the spring pivot.  If you are just looking for adjustable ride height and can tolerate strut rods and such, this may be an option.
