I'm trying to get my truck back to a roller after I stripped all the suspension out. Right now I need to figure out if there are better leaf alternatives than what I have planned. The overall plan for the truck is this: warm 6.0/t56, tall ball joints, tubular uca/lca, poly everywhere I can put it 3" drop 450lb coils, 2" 98+ blazer drop spindles(so I can run dual piston calipers), hydroboost brake booster, adjustable proportioning valve, 3" drop splot mono leafs from calvert racing with caltracs bars and 3" drop blocks on a TBD disc brake rear end.
I feel like calling it a true pro touring really does a disservice to the guys doing more than bolt on to build pro touring vehicles soooooooo, it's a pro daily spec'd to the gt class of the usca and street modified with scca. My question is in the rear leaf setup. I know guys are running 10's on the split leafs, but how well do they corner? Link setups and coilovers are out because that would move me up too many classes in scca to be competitive. Are there better leaf spring options out there for what I'm building? I am not looking to do one thing really well, but several things pretty well. With traction I may see a high 12 out of the truck when it's cool, and I certainly won't be steam rolling people on the autocross or road courses but I want to be competitive.
