Default Re: Calvert split mono leaf springs?

I have Calvert springs and CalTracs on my 68 Mustang. It was originally street legal and towed a teardrop trailer to the track each weekend. Worked on the track and tolerable on the road. A leaf spring car without Calverts is an odd bird these days. Match them with Caltracs or they will wrap up on you. Get your pinion angle right, too. I messed mine up and tried running shims to correct it. The reduced contact between the centering stud and spring caused it to start to separate and move the right rear wheel. A sharp eyed tech caught it in the waterbox before I cut a tire.
