Hotchkis leaf springs sagg brand-new
72BBSwinger, Im sorry to hear that you fell for the same ploy, but am glad that im not just making crazy accusations about them. With 440lb-ft torque I can roll into the throttle in 2nd or 3rd gear and feel the car squat and be held up by the snubber. Because of these springs ive never done a hard 1st into 2nd gear launch either (after testing within the first 50 miles of the cars life and banging the u-joint so hard into the tunnel I thought it was going to rip off in there).
I sent Dan this picture of my car vs Kenny Waynes Duster-His wheels are 1.2" larger in diameter than mine and he still has a bit of a gap above the wheel arch. Im also fairly certain that my car is lighter then the Duster in the picture since it was an empty tank, no carpet, interior, or sound system- just the roll cage. He also said that adding 100lbs of fuel and the body dropping 1" was 'normal'.
