Friends:
I see a lot of folks in various marquees (including Triumphs) using coil-over
shocks in the rear to supplement a tired leaf-spring. I noticed Ratco is
selling this as an upgrade to the TR suspension. My question, especially with
regard to a rotoflex axle in my GT6 is, why not?
benefits seem to be:
- spring travels same path as shock
- easily adjustable spring rate and height
downsides:
- possible space limitations (probably avoidable when going from donut to CV)
- what am I missing???
If you're redoing the entire suspension anyway, is this not a good way to go?
And if not, has anyone tried the composite "leaf" springs and saved the 40-50
lbs of steel?
Thanks,
Chuck Watson
