Now the front half of the spring and the shock tuning are where the real advantages are with a leaf spring car.
so,one would surmise that if you removed the front half the rear would hold up the car ???? you may want to re think that,,,I have looked very closely at Keeners cars,,,,as well as Ficacchi"s,,,,and they use stock springs,,,which ARE a lighter spring rate than a split mono,period Show me a car that works as well as they do,,,,on a consistent level and maybe you can change my mind, The last time I was at Eaton spring in Detroit,,, I saw some split monos they said were for Calvert ????
