New leaf springs

[Ironmike]

Hey guys! Find myself in a silly predicament. Have completely redone my Demon over the years........new everything, pretty big HP engine, yada yada yada.

I have left the ORIGINAL rear leaf springs in there because it sits nice and low and even better, with my home made Traction bars(Kinda Cal Trac hybrids), it launches fantastic!

I have now become sick of the harsh ride and would like to replace them. Really have 2 fears. 1. I don't want the car "raked" at all and 2. I would still like a decent launch.

What , who, or where do I begin?

By the way, if ya look under there now, they are pretty much FLAT.

I put new springs on my Demon and yes, it had too much rake. I ended up getting some front hangers that had 3 holes. I use the lowest setting and it made a pretty big difference and sits nice now. In the future as the springs relax, I may have to use a different hole. Here's how it sits now with 245 60 14's on the rear.

None of the stock leaf springs ever sat flat when they were new. That' incorrect suspension geometry, but if that's what you want, go for it.
