I have the "new" SS springs, from Mancini in Aug '08. I did have to add an extra leaf to the right side. The car felt like it was going to roll over on it's side when I launched. I had an old set of SS springs and used the 2 leaf from that set and added it between the main and 2nd leaf on the right side only. Problem solved. 11.5 tires, SS springs, non adjustable shocks (MP long, 50/50) NO pinion snubber and a Turbo Action "J" convertor, footbraking. Sitting still, the car sits up higher on RR, partly because of the extra leaf and partly because of the way I have the torsion bars set. But it leaves "square".

no when he changed he went with the mano leaf spring
ok, that's cool. It seems that if there is enough hook with a particular system, any other system will be a poor return on the dollar. I personally made thousands of passes with SS springs. 11.50's, 1.55 60's. ALWAYS. When I went into the mid 10's, really inconsistent. Come to think of it, the car is still inconsistent, even with ladder bars.

Looks like I will be going with the ss springs. They seem to be the most affordable.
