Re: Leaf springs ?

The main leaf from a multi spring wont be strong enough to hold the car up, a set of mono springs are designed with the correct spring rate to give you the ride height you want.

Re: heading to the shop

Does that front horizontal bar between the stuts stay there? It looks fully welded in and seems like it would be in the way of the the front of the engine/radiator. maybe it just looks tthat way in pics. Car looks great so far.

Re: 700R4 VS. TH350/TH400

Like said above as long as its upgraded you will be fine Ive installed plenty of 700r4s behind engines with a lot more power than what your building and they are fine. Its also very important to get the proper TV cable,brackets,and carb hardware.

Re: competiton engineering drag shocks

Since Ive had both the CE and Lakwoods on 11,10 and 9 second cars I would vote for the Lakwoods as mentioned above the adjustment on the CE dont seem to work very well.
