i was just wondering instead of using a model a or t spring on the rear axle is there another spring can be used thanks cary
You could always use coil springs, they been using them for years...Mount em ontop the axle with a couple "cups" (speedways has em) or make your own mounts and mount em behind the axle. Lots of em out there . Smaller cars= Smaller springs.. You can cut the coils for the ride height you want.. And they are CHEAP. As far as shocks, you can mount them as you would any other time or if the springs are behind the axle ,run the shocks thru the center....JN
I got a CCR spring on mine. Not near as high as a T spring
I used Vega rear coils on my track T in 1979. Not many Vegas in bone yards anymore so my current build uses Rear springs from a Chrysler K-car (don't know year or model). The spring has a variable rate, 73# first inch, 81# second inch, and som on. These springs are almost free in most junk yards.
i do have coilovers, but i leaning more to the old style with the spring.but with that high arch spring of the model a or t it looks like it jacks the rear end up kinda high.
