I ran one of the first transverse leafs way back in the stone ages. Car handled OK, but rode horrible no matter what I did. I think partly because there is very limited travel to the spring, due to how far out the supports are. Also the spring seemed to be VERY progressive, which meant the deeper the bump, the more the arm moved, the more agressivily it rebounded making the car almost hop. I had many a teeth chattering moment in that car as it was a daily driver. I will be curious to see if 14 years corrects the problem.
