I agree that the springs are junk, but I'm not 100% sure that it is the spring's fault. I'd really like to check the driveline figures (however he has yet to contact me and I'm looking forward to talking about his car, I like a lot of the stuff he has done), because I'm going to make an educated guess that his driveline angles are way off. And I'm not saying that he set his pinion incorrectly, I mean that I believe that his crank angle is so far down that he had to crank the pinion way up to compensate which caused his clearance issue. My evidence would be the driveshaft relation to the pinion in his picture compared to the angle in mine. I would guess by looking at the picture that his pinion angle is 10-12*, where if his driveline was at the proper angle, it should be 1-3*. After 12000 miles of hooning on his car and bottoming the pinion to the floor pan, the springs are starting to show signs of prolonged abuse. I'd like to get the chassis sorted before we junk another set of springs.
