RE: Rear Springs

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

LOL my cars always sit a little high on the right side when I'm in the car!

We used to have the front ends on the drag cars aligned with me in the car and the front end jacked up an inch or two.  I can't imagine it made enough difference in a bracket car to be worth the effort, but that's how the stocker guys were doing it!

I forgot to include when adjusting LT front T bar to compensate for the SS
springs the driver should be in car.  Herb  -------Original Message-------   From: Herb Date: 11/20/2009 10:14:41 AM To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Rear Springs   The SS springs are designed to be heaver on the right side & I like them!!. 
The Short Story.   The objective is to adjust the left front Torsion bar to
level the car, pushing the right rear tire down to offset the tendency of the right rear tire to spin before the left because of torque.  Same reason
the battery is mounted on the right side in the trunk!  Just my two!

I've had cars sit a little high on the RH side but nothing objectionable, IMHO.

While I'm at it, I'd like to replace the rear springs.  I'm thinking about installing a set of new super stock springs, but I'd like to get feedback from you guys who have done this.  Are they a bad idea for a street car?  What other options may be better?  I'm looking to get the ride hight up a little.  Even new stock springs would probably get it up a bit higher than the 45 year old ones that are on it now, but I'm thinking something more substantial than stock may be the way to go.  I don't plan to make the car into a heavy duty strip car, but occasional 1/4 mile activity will be in it's future.  I've read that some guys think the ride height is too high with ss springs, and others think it's just fine.  All opinions are welcome and appreciated.  Thanks!
