leaf springs?

MEXJOE · 11-06-2008, 03:12 PM

When I was looking under some stockers (camaro & nova) I noticed that the spring end of the rear shackle was canted wayy back.
Or you could say, over center of the frame mount to the rear of the car.

I have noticed a few cars set up like this, now that I'm looking.

Is this the the way I should try to set up?
If so, how do I do it?
(longer spring?)

Are sliders legal?

I do not believe sliders are legal in stock

Had a conversation earlier this year with California and they said sliders were not legal.

Did you ask about ladder bars or a 4 link too,.... to go with the sliders?

I figured that would be pushing my luck!
