Bent Landrum spring

GTX JOHN · 01-20-2018, 04:48 PM

I have a dozen cars with John's springs and shocks.

A couple are Heavy and have over 500 runs on them
in last ten years and we have not noticed any issues.

We adjust them accorded to his directions and make sure that nothing
is binding and everything is free moving. Perhaps the geometry on the spring you are
using is not compatible....We bought a car with Mopar Superstock springs
and Calvert bars and it was so bound up that it may as well been mounted
solid!

I have never tried them without his springs or driven them extensively
on the street.

His stuff is the best things we have every used on suspension......Use his Shocks/Struts
and other suspension pieces as well.

Might be able to press it back to correct ride height, then add half leaf of same curve. I agree with John everything needs to move freely.

A four wheel scale will tell you a lot.

Good luck

I have run the Landrum springs forever with no problem and no extra leaves. If you bent a spring I would think something is bound up or way out of adjustment.

Look into a company called Flex Form, they have composite springs. About 8 lbs a side and are around $400.
