Default Cal trac springs

A question for mopar a-body cars, what number spring are you using? Mono or split? I’m looking to buy and want input from the racers themselves not cal trac

My stick 340 Duster application uses Calvert split monoleaf with front segment LF120-345 and rear segment PLR537-460. Relatively recently switched to that rear segment with higher spring rate and am very happy with it. May not work as well with an auto.

I have enjoyed working with the Calvert team over the years—they have always been very helpful in solving issues. They have customer service second to none.

Calvert offers a 0, +1” and a -1” ride height spring combo. I went with the 0, the car sits level at #3200. Problem I ran into was now the 10” w, 4.5 bs wheels,9x30 Hoosiers no longer fit under the wheel wells. The +1” spring sits more like a #3000 SS spring. I do like the car lower in the rear. Nice thing is, like Tim did, you can simple change the rear half if you want to change the height.

I see they have different front segments also, 120 and 121. What’s the purpose on that, stiffer? The post above and the one who pm-ed me use same rear section. Great info keep it coming

As I remember, Calvert made a mono for the A bodys to allow
a bit more tire to spring clearance. It was narrower but I do not
think I have seen one the last 15 or 20 years. It helped on a early
Dart or Valiant but was not needed on a Duster/Demon style car.
