That's funny, because I can hook mine in a skating rink. Gotta work on the tune up a bit because frozen water is more slick than no frozen water. Just because you think it won't make it true.

What do they do that other springs don't? Are they made of "magic" spring steel and others are just regular spring steel? Because when anybody asks about rear springs........that's all we hear is he needs Super Stock springs. I just want to know why. And because they worked for so and so is not an answer. Hmmmm. Where were you in the 60's. Thought you knew it all?? They worked for me! Fastest 300

LMFAO I have only ever bought 1 set of SS springs, which are currently on my Plymouth. I bought them years ago when they were a little more affordable. Any leaf spring car I build in the future will have Caltracs or something similar. Last edited by bubby440; 01/09/17 05:00 PM. 72 Plymouth Roadrunner 11.08@123.25

He asked what was the magic in them that made them work better than stock springs. The answer is clear. They made the front segments stiffer,by adding more springs, and/or thicker material.

Need more rate or a stiffer segment? Add some leafs or half leafs. Like the short front segment? Use A-body springs. Any spring pack can be made to work just as well as any store bought SS spring pack. Spring steel is spring steel. Only two things come into play. The arch on the spring and the number of leafs or half leafs. Been many a spring pack that wasn't a thing wrong with, thrown out behind a shop, because someone was told they needed the magic SS spring to make their car work. When all they probably needed was some clamps and maybe a leaf added

True a set of traction bars work just as wellor make you own but you cannot always duplicate the spring rate also they were cheap as far as I was concerned and a one night change over in my garage on the floor.Don't really care who likes or dislikes them they are what works for me

It's easy to have a set delivered to your doorstep and throw them on vs. scrounging the salvage yard and spending a day rolling your own. Especially back when they were priced relatively cheap!
