Default What kind of leaf spring is this?



We assume 7-leaf, because it seems to be a gymkhana car. Has the 1.125" front sway and 7/16" rear sway.

Your assumptions are clearly correct.

Looks to be the 7 leaf - heavier of the two stock spring rates.
I forget the rates, but I'm sure someone more versed will answer.

292 is what VB&P rates it, my 78 MVMA spec rates at 304.

With 25 years of sag, who knows...

Thanks mucho Dave! Glad you didn't leave. :)
