A lot of Races were won on the old Chrysler Super Stock springs he’ll I put a pair on my Boss 302 race car and they worked very good! If my memory serves me right Dave Landrith used the when the AMX super stocks were built at Hurst Performance Research in Maddison Heights, Mi!

They’re a good product for a good price. I think they are well worth the money. Much more than a $1000 set of lifters.

My experience is a lot of people here don't follow the Builds section of this forum. Probably some who have responded don't know if the car is a 429/4v or a 302/ 2v.
It makes a difference..again in MY opinion.

I have found that the Calvert stuff can actually slow down a not-so-high-powered combo like a 302/2V. Probably be the right stuff on a 429 SCJ though.

What would you recommend? I was looking at using the Bars and shocks and maybe using the stock leafs but if you have a more budget friendly idea im all ears

If it's going to be a 302/2V then I would just go with a set of good, old fashioned Lakewood slapper bars or a reasonable facsimile and the stock springs to get started.

yes is a 302 2v and okay what shocks? multi adjustable or would Lakewoods work?

Can you elaborate Billy on why you think that is? I thought Stock suspension cars loved adjustability?

Here's our local 302 2V King. Caltracs in the top hole and what seem to be split mono springs. I don't know his rear shock package but he doesn't spend a lot of time under the car.
I run QA-1 double adjustable rear shocks and they are difficult for me to tune. Power is a 302 4V.

What is the car doing?
What do you want it to do?
