Do you have traditional shackles on the rear of your leafs or sliders? I don't know if I've ever seen your set up.

Amen on the Penske's.....I couldn't believe the improvement and tune-ability when I installed a 3-way on my Ducati. Besides they're real purdy.

Sliders!



Embarrassingly enough I have never seen those! I've been planning on Global West or Hotchkis bushings on my GW L2 springs. Is the end performance result of the slider considering the price difference comparable.......for a pro-tinkerer on a tight budget?

When Rudy brought his Pro Street Camaro up for a little R&R ----- one of the first things I noticed was that his rear end was in a bind.... the arc of the parallel bars was different than the arc that his leaf springs would allow... and the BIRD CAGE that was supposed to allow the rear to move (float) on the leafs was bolted down tight.... NO MOVEMENT ALLOWED.... So the two arcs where fighting each other - therefore noting was moving much. UGH!

Amazing what a little movement will do for a guys suspension... LOL
