    I know what you mean. It's an ugly sight. I had a 6-pt roll bar connected to full length sub-frame connectors to keep my flimsy vert from 'rolling'. I assume that's what eliminated it as I didn't have that problem.

    I like that setup. I believe it would be easier to align the rear also with the two piece (if I understand it correctly). I need to address that issue with my setup (rear alignment). The last shop I had it in, screwed it up somehow (long story). :confused:

    The price isn't as bad either, $278.00 plush shipping ($30 to my door). Reference: http://calvertracing.com/lspring/leafspring.htm


    I agree. I forget which setting I have my QA1's on but with a home made mono-leaf spring set up, mine rides smooth also (with the very limited amount of mileage I've put on it).


    Decisions, decisions. :hmmm:

    I'm not quite seeing how the 2 leaf set up works in my head yet. They didn't really explain any theory on their site either. I have a an in depth knowledge on suspension and alignments. I raise and lower tons of cars and know more than just basic geomotry concerning chassis and suspension set ups. Anybody care to take a stab at it????
