Hi all, found a link to these rear springs on the web. They have several higher rear spring rates available than hotchkis, global, and detroit speed.... Do you think the landrum rear leafs are a good design? I wanted to run the hotchkis tvs but was a little reluctant on the rear sway bar as per Dave's and/or Tom's website. Hotchkis claims the rear sway bar is needed to give the car a more "neutral" feel. I believe the hotchkis rear leaf is rated around 175 lbs with their recommended front spring at 670 lbs for a bbc. Let me know what you guys think.
thanks

I think this link is better:

hope it works

I think they have way too much arch in them.
I have a pair of Landrum 250 rate brand new that I'll probably never use. I was going to rework them but thought better of it. Figured it would be a waste of my time.
Landrum could probably build a special pair for you to suit your needs, they did so for Steilow on one of his cars. I think it was the Thrasher.

Please check out the h/d three leaf mono replacement springs that good old JCWhitney is selling under the '68 Nova car number!!

Ihave a set on my car and like them. But I haven't decided to add my old second and third multi leaf's to each stack or not to make them better match my 500+ front coils.

For a street driven car that will not see a road coarse regularly, or for those who don't want to constantly tinker with spring and sway bar rates, the Hotchkis kit works pretty well. Is it optimal? No, but no pre-packaged kit will be optimum for every car. There are too many variables involved. Personal tastes and the car (weight, distribution, tires, etc.) all make a difference.

The Hotchkis rear bar is smaller in diameter than most, plus it is mounted far inboard toward the center pumpkin. This gives it a lower effective rate at the wheel.
