SS SPRINGS NON SS SHOCKS - POSSIBLE?

cannucky said

Mine wouldn't go on the passenger side without putting a jack under the shock plate and compressing the spring so thats when I became a believer lol .
I know I'll probably take flak for saying it but I always believed traction bars worked instead of the Mopar setup instead of conflicting with it , I know Pettyblue Scott had real good luck with the Comp Engineering Slide-a-Link set-up , my car see's to many miles on the street to lock up the rear end that tight , the SS set-up is tight but will still travel if you slam a pot hole in the dark.

Tom Hoover said, "in a mopar drag seminar" in okc one time, that imperial shocks worked well, and to always ere to the light side when buying s.stock springs. we ran 002-003 springs on a hemi belvedere. they are shorter than b body springs, and the car was way heavier than they were designed for. they moved the rear end forward too, because they`re shorter. they worked well, but didn`t last too long under that kind of stress. no pinion snubber, it just tore them up. no clamps on the back half of the springs. had many chevy guys tell us that our springs were coming apart, because they were separating so much on take off. If I remember right, we used 3 sets in about 12 yrs. of hard racing. wish we would have had todays tires back then ! jfyi also have a set of 002-003 springs for sale right now. I think if I were going to use them on a street car, I`d run two driver side(003) springs.-bob
