[Tigers] Rear End Stiffness/Issue

[Larry Paulick]

Tom, Ron’s suggestion on spring perches is spot on.  I have a 3.54 with 5 speed, so 1st is very low, and Dale’s stiffer rear springs, traction bars and no problems, with stress cracks.  Even with all the above, car can hop in 1st if I am really on it.
