That’s just not true. In fact it’s wrong.
To assume every Chrysler car out there wants the IC at the front spring mount is short sighted.
I’ll say it. I would quit racing if I had to go back to SS springs. They limit so much it’s a crying shame guys spend a dime on **** like that.
To that end, I already said the OP need DA shocks regardless of his rear suspension.
It’s 2025 and the fact that Calvert is still selling SA shocks shows what marketing does.
You’re correct to a point.
What you’re forgetting is there are classes that require leafs. I have ladder bars on mine, they are better, no doubt. Car drives like a Caddy.
Class racers and such are obviously going to use a Calvert deal over a super stock spring. They are lighter and offer more adjustability, no doubt. Better mousetrap, still not optimal, obviously. Just rules mandated.
I wanted to race Muscle street in NMCA with mine, it required leafs, so even though my car fit nicely otherwise, they wouldn’t give me a exemption.
Guys, if given the choice will always pick Calvert over s/s springs running NHRA stockers.Mopar FAST class stuff requires leafs too.
My point is there are lots of guys who have issues getting them to work.
The Duster I had wouldnt have went any faster on Caltracks, it dead hooked everywhere. With the rear overhang on A bodies, it’s a snap.
And anybody who knew that car knew it was ultra consistent, way better than the driver, and back then I could drive..lol
This whole thing goes back to the OP wondering if a 10.20 or 30 car or what his car runs has exceeded leafs. It hasn’t, they will be consistent going much faster. It’s just a matter of setup. Obviously a small radial is going to make it way tougher. I couldn’t get my Duster to work on those.
But I didn’t need the extra few hundreds. I index and bracket raced it.
