Default Alf rear suspension GM 68-72 A-Body

All,

Does anyone know what rear springs are used on Alf's Suspension GM 68-72 A-Body kit? I'm looking for a set and from what I hear is that he will not sell them separately.

If anyone knows the rate and dimensions for a GM 68-72 A-Body, it would be much appreciated.



Manny

many the reason is they would fall out of your car without his suspension kit which includes provisions to mechanically fasten the springs top and bottom in their mounts.

The springs are much shorter than stock and have a spring rate of over 600 lbs./in.

No.

There were several revisions to the original design as a result of using it on my car which was/is the quickest 60 footing and the heaviest and finally a redesign that eliminated the wishbone to satisfy a few crybabies and one tech inspector.
