Re: Make it handle

Didn't know that you Hotchkis boys were here. Thanks for the clarification on the spring rates. It does make sense to me about the distance of the spring from the pivot point. I can relate to your comparison to a 69 Camaro. I have a 69 and use 650lb Afco springs and adjustable spacers on the front of it. Before I knew there was such a difference in the A-arm ratio, those 1100lb springs looked to be a misprint on your website.

Since you are here, could you enlighten us a little bit on the use of a 4" drop spring. Is that 4" spring well suited with stock control arms or designed for your tubular arms and TVS as a whole? It is hard to argue with the performance of Rob's truck. I was aware of the fact that he put the smack down on Bad Penny....very impressive!
