who has espo leafs +1 and +2

[MoparJunkie]

I apologize if I'm jumping the subject a little but I'll be looking for a good suspension setup as well in the near future and I've noticed people seem to like the ESPO springs a lot. I'm lookiing for a street/drag setup and not sure if a good set of springs will work okay or if I should get some traction bars too. Dr Diff said caltracs would be good, but I'd have to notch them some since I'm running a b body dana rear end. I'm just looking to run 11.5ish at the track (no cage) so I'd like a good balance of street and performance if possible. I'll be putting a 28x12x15 tire on the back, just trying to figure out what rear suspension people like.

Thanks for your time, and loving the pics, stances look good.

whats the difference between ta leafs and the stock leafs? Asked ESPO and was told ta leafs wont work on a 74.  Did the ta come with a dana??

T/A springs are arched a bit higher than stock. T/As all have 8-3/4 rears, but that has nothing to do with springs. Any E-body spring will fit in any E-body. Your ESPO person was having an off day.

Would the T/A springs be arched higher because of the side exit exhaust needing more ground clearances?

   And it was the only production car that came with different size front and rear tires off the line.

  thanks to all of you for helping me with the pics. And the education on the TA leafs.

Does anyone have a pic with the 2" + Espo springs?  I'm looking for maximum height and want to eliminate these stupid air shocks.  Will adding 71-73 Imperial shocks also add additional height in conjuction with the springs?  I want it to look like an old Super Stocker.

Thanks.

Thanks, what bs size and tire is that?

Front - Weld Pro Star 15x7 3.5" bs, MT 28x10
Rear - Weld Pro Star 15x10 5.5" bs with 1/2" spacer, MT 30x12

Any rubbing issues on the rear?  How does it launch, like a super stock Spring?

I did rub with the 5.5" bs, so I installed the 1/2" spacers and no rubbing now.  The only other option from Weld was 4.5 bs and I was afraid that would have been too close to the qtr panel.  It launches so much better now, but I am not sure how old my other springs were so hard to compare the difference with new stock springs with the +1".

Cool thanks,  just want to eliminate air shocks but want to run a 12" tire on 4" bs.  Probably need +2, or +3".
