RE: Super Stock Springs

[Dave64 <lt7dave@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

The extensions would push the rearend back.  I found that out when I had a driveshaft vibration.  I ended up having to drill mounting holes 3/4" forward of the holes in the extended hangers so the driveshaft would have the correct end play.  It's interesting that yours rides great.  Mine rides rough - which is what I usually read from other SS spring car owners.
