as for the rear suspention i was told on the "leaf Spring" thread that one side SS springs are good for starters... would i rather do a TVS system... yes... gonna happen...no lol...
thank you for all the quick info... please keep it coming!
The Hotchkis leaf springs have a very strong segement too. They have two thick supporting leafs that go all the way to the front under the main leaf to resist wrap up and wheel hop under acceration. And there is a thick strong clamp much closer to the front than stock springs.
But in addition, the Hotchkis leaf springs have a thick leaf above the main leaf to prevent wrap up and wheel hop under braking. If the rear tires hop, you loose rear traction and the rear end comes around. Super Stock nor stock springs do not have anything like this.
Here's the Hotchkis leaf springs resisting heaving braking at 120+ mph and thottling in the sweet spot RPMs of my 416 stroker with imediate reacting BG Silver Claw double pump carb.
I put on the noise reducing cap on the camera since it was right near the mufflers. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
