Cuda SRT8 392 Gen.III Hemi
My goal for this summer is to get the paint on my car, which is just a matter of time with no big expense. In the meantime, I have the rear suspension to address; upholstery work (will send my seats to Katzkins in L.A.) and then wheels and tires. My wheel and tire selection will be last, after the body is painted.
I could use some help with the rear suspension. I currently have S/S springs that I bought new back in the late 70's or early 80's (never used except to roll the car around). I'm hearing a more trick setup is CalTracs with monoleafs. My car will be street/strip and I want it to be a reasonable ride on the street but to also hook pretty good on the strip, using wrinkle wall slicks.
I'm by no means a rich man, but when it comes to my build, I decide what is best for the car and then buy it, without a big concern for cost. If the CalTrac arrangement is best overall, then I have no problem buying it.
So there's my dilemma and I'd really appreciate input from you guys that have had both systems to compare against each other. For starters, I've heard that the S/S springs are old technology and are pretty stiff and bouncy on the street.
Input please?
