I have seen Astro Van composite springs altered to fit in a race car with ladder bars.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Calvert originally used a 1-piece spring before switching to the 2-piece. Landrum sounds familiar as the manufacturer, but I'm not sure if they in fact were the source.
I assume the 2-piece deal makes it easier for them to supply different section lengths for different cars, as I don't see any other advantage to them over the 1-piece...
