Default Re: Split mono leafs vs conventional leaf springs

we have a HG in town where i live, he ran a 8.1 something last week at Willowbank, he has leaf springs, he is also a suspension guy guru in setting up rear ends, he has done Stu Henrys Capri, but he runs altra dear shocks in rear, but low 7’s. His HG is relevant due to its weight compared to a XR. He has a take on the Calvert System, one of the mags has a feature on him, its in the Performance Garage mag. I keep up to date by reading what they are doing overseas, especially leaf springers running in X275 class, this is the closest class to what most larger cars can run with drag radials etc and run the tyre. Also have a look at what the Trick Manswetto falcon was running, i know his setup is in a Street machine Ford’s issue. He has bigger perches with lowering block built in, every thing is bigger, but runs a full pack of leaf springs, i like the look of the mono leaf, as you can change the set up easily. Designed to use the Calvert adjustable shocks.
