racers would remove all the rear clamps (Behind Axle Housing) which made the
rear springs separate and feather out. For safety you should probably have
the bottom spring clamped to at least second spring. I loved all the monkey motion,
BUT Calverts are much lighte/adjustable/resistant to marginal track surfaces!
Looking forward to seeing you again.

John,
Maybe you can answer this; I seem to recall back when I had my Challenger about 25 years ago Direct Connection made a new front spring box that allowed the use of the SS springs that had shorter front segments than the stock springs.
Does this sound correct? I wonder if something like that would be an easy option for Chris if he can’t just bolt in a spring from an A, B, or E body?
He could maybe make new spring boxes for shorter springs??
