    Using What I have, and trying to keep the car as much an A' as possible I need to lower the rear of my car. I have a hopped up A' driveline. Engine trans and rear. Ideas In motion include a Reverse Eye Spring and I don't want to Z the Frame. I am thinking of removing or swapping Leaves around How has this effected the spring rate/handling? Has anybody ever lowered the Spring Perches on an A Axle? I'm only looking for about 3-4 inches of drop total, to get it more in-line with the front.

    How many leave do you think is a good idea to remove. I have an 8 leaf spring.

    I don't know how you could lower the spring perches, you're just clearing the axle as is. A Model T spring is the usual step in lowering the rear

    Yup T spring with a few leaves pulled will get you the 3 inches
