Technical model a rear spring

how maney leaves can i remove and have a decent ride

 

What model do you have and how many leaves currently? Front or rear? You will never truly get a decent ride.

its a coupe & i am asking about the rear spring

 

You can probably get by with 7 total. Each pack/car is different but it’s a starting spot

 

Didn't coupes only have 8 to start with? Tudors had 10, roadsters had 7.

 

Depends entirely on what the body is.

I took 3 out my RPU and it rides fine. But unladen the truck is very light at the back.

 

I did a bones style ch***is for a customer for his steel Henry deuce 3 window and used a worn out original A spring and I think he left all 10 leaves. Rides good.

 

If you want to get it a little lower and ride just as nice, use an early T spring.

 

Posies and others sell a reverse eye main leaf (you can buy just the main leaf or the complete spring) that gives about 2” drop with no other changes. Beyond that just remove every other leaf until you get to where you want to go.
