I'm at the point where I need to order my leaf springs. I am going for a pro touring look so I want the best leafs for a lowered stance. I have already started my mini tub and spring relocation using the US Car Tool kit. What are you guys using for leaf springs?
 
For my streeter, 68Barracuda FormulaS clone;
I have a saggy HD set, with an eye to eye second HD main added. I didn't really want to tell you this,but WTH.The combo has very little arch left.(Installed, Ima guessing 2 or maybe 3 inches). I had them built for my 73 Dart back in about 1980.In fact to get the rear shackle angle right, I had to move the offset hangers back some.With the nearly flat springs there is very little rear-end side-shift going on, and I can run 325/50-15DRs (nearly28s),fairly aggressively around turns.
The car is set up with the K at about 5.75 to 6.0 under the lowest part of the K with 235/60-14s(24.5) or 245/50-15s(25.0) front tires. Then I have 295/50-15s(26.6) on the rear. This gets me about .25 inch frt/rr rake at the sills.It's getting harder every year to hoist my 210pounds out of the RX7 bucket.
 
Like pauly v 100,, I did a Volare' with the HD springs and the adjustable front hangers. That thing lay on the ground with the spring eye in the lowest hole. Sorry no pictures.
