Quote: Hotchkis uses a drop eye arrangement with the front eye in their leaf spring kits.
Drop hangers can eliminate blocks too, but blocks can also be used to fine tune roll center height. Moving that front mounting point and the intersection of the eyes can have slight impacts on geometry if your trying to optimize things.
Good point ! We do have two monting positions on our front leaf spring hanger and four on the rear.
I'm not really a fan of reverse eye springs on a racecar, as the leaf is the "pulling" on the eyes and not "resting" on the weight of the car.
However, here is an interesting picture of the leaf springs on Richard Petty's 1968 Roadrunner.
