Hotchkis leaf springs sagg brand-new

Well, this subject always brings out the worst in me, but I just came back from driving the Demon for the last time before its revamp.

I must say I am pretty amazed at the video. I knew the springs would bow under acceleration (which after seeing the video the pinion snubber does not look to hit the stopper-I can also hear when driving when it does make contact) but I was amazed at how the springs inverted their bow on deceleration; I wish I did more decaleration and some hard braking to document this as well. Maybe while im tuning in the efi...

Here are a couple screen shots of acceleration and the inverted deceleration bowing.
