71 camaro - rear leafs
I'm trying to figure out what rear leafs to run in my 71.
i'm looking for rates in the neighborhood of 170-200lbs, or so.
90% street car, 5% drag race, 5% open track.
I don't expect 1.5 60', but I would at least like to be able to cut a 1.9 on drag radials. Thus I want a leaf with effective axle wrap control.
I don't expect a luxury ride, but I want to keep my teeth on highway trips.
I don't expect 1.5g of cornering ability, but approaching 1.0g would be nice.
I can NOT lower the car. It's got the stock saggy rear leafs on there now, and I can not go any lower. I can go an inch higher or so, though.
Leafs will be paired with bilsteins or better.
I'm looking at a front spring rate in the 500lb neighborhood.
I have tried contacting some of the speciality designers, however I assume this must be a busy time of year as it's been hard getting consistent responses.
I have already looked at hotchkis and global west, and am convinced that they are not what I'm looking for.
any ideas or suggestions?
