Fibreglass Leaf Springs vs Standard Steel Springs for C3

<< < (2/3) > >>

69CVET:
Thanks guys for feedback. Noted.
Is the fibre spring a straight bolt up?
Any mods apart from the bolt size as you mentioned????

rosco:
Went thru this a couple of yr ago.
Put a lot of research into it as mine came with the F41 suspension with the 7 leaf.
I do like the feel of the fiberglass springs and they do a very good job but do have the problem of sitting the arse end up way high and you have to get the 8 to 10 in bolts to get it down again.
As Bob has stated get the Bilsteins sports not the HD as the HD are just a little softer.
I ended up going with the original after talking and spending time with Dontov racing in Dallas.
They know there stuff and there is nothing in there shop other than racing C2 and C3,s.
Light reading for you.

Interesting read Ross ... thanks for the post

Lefty:
Yes interesting reading.
Can anyone advise if from experience it is possible to re temper or recondition existing leafs, or purchase new ones ( assumption this can only be done to steel springs?
I have a 79 and a planned upgrade is shock and spring in the near to mid future?

Cheers
Lefty
