[TR] [Spits] spit suspension question

[Joe Curry]

It would be difficult to do any ratically different changes to the swing
spring without doing away with the rocker box (which is the key part that
makes the thing work..  A much stiffer main leaf would increase roll
stiffness and reduce the swing-spring effect.

So I don't think that you can do much to that configuration to improve
handling without defeating the design functionality of the concept.

I have used a modified GT6 Spring with another heavy duty leaf added to
increase the spring rate.  But thatwas on a rotoflex car so it might not be
applicable to your question.  Are you asking about using it with the swing
spring setup or with the original suspension setup?

Has anyone tried any other springs other than the stock spring that you can
get from VB or other dealers? Heavy duty truck spring maybe? Heavy duty
trailer spring?

Just wonder.
