Mono Springs for the Rear
First what are everyone's thoughts for monos on the rear. I am thinking about that as a solution to the handling shake I am getting (see post labled front end shimmy). seems like the original builder took the rear leafs apart and rebuilt the springs putting leafs in different order than they were and then clamping the long spring on top to a long leaf on bottom there by pulling the rear down some. What a dumb a**.
Second does anyone know a source for a set of monos? I am on the road and don't have any catalogs with me.

Sorry for dominating all your threads. If you want to go ultra low, monos will get you down there. But I am not a fan of monos. You will get a better ride and handling from a stack with 4 or 5 leaves. I would rather see you pull a few leaves from a stock spring. You always have the extra leaves around to add or subtract. Reverse eye multileaf springs may also be available. Mid-Fifty and such all have stock springs. Do you have a local spring shop? That will be your best value.
I believe your 302 buddy RMF is up on this subject.

JetJock,
Sorry, been offline for a couple of days.....
I discussed the info you're lookin for a few days ago for someone else.
While we have yet to find anyone say anything good about Mono leaves (front or rear) - Sacramento-Vintage Ford (amoung others sell them with normal eye or reversed eye. For the rears, normal eyes drop her 3" from stock, the reversed eyes drop her 5".
They also sell the normal multi-leaf springs (as do many others) but they seem to be the only source (that I've found) for the reversed eye main leaves where you can buy JUST the main leaf and not the whole pack. The reversed eye main leaf will drop her about 2" below stock. ($65. each side plus all their surcharges, etc)
Later,
