The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Front spring advice- A-V8

Karl,
In the AV8 I am building, I used the stock "A" spring with a new reversed eye main leaf from Chassis Engineering. I have all the leaves in it with hydraulic shocks. The car hasn't had it's maiden voyage yet, but by bouncing on the front end it doesn't seem that it will be a hard ride. Sometimes the old springs get the arch knocked out of them from years of use, and this will also give you a hard ride.
