1964 Fairlane leaf springs
I have found a lot of great info on this site. I'm trying to make my rear suspension on my 64 fairlane more solid or tight if that describes anything. The problem Im having is finding anybody that has springs for this application. Any ideas for where I could look?
Thanks

go with fiberglass leafs. they can make you anything you want and are reasonable and obviously light.

Thanks I'll take a look. Do you know anything about the Calvert split mono leaf?

I think it would make a great drag spring. but not sure about a handling spring.as it may not take torsional forces very well. a few guys on here run the flex-form for autocross.

I was thinking that myself after looking at it. I will see how much the flex-form will run.
Thanks

Fiberglass leafs? Sounds interesting, I'm in the process of reworking my 67 cougar and have been looking at delrin bushings and/or sliders for the rear leafs. How well do the flex-forms keep the rearend centered? I gotta check those out.
