I've always seen the tremendous weight-reduction factor for FG leafs, that one is obvious, but FG just seems like an unlikely material for a spring. Do these things not break? Thats a LOT ov stress, and even more on a race car in corners. Are these safe? Sure, some here have track cars that never see real streets, but how about for a street car? or do you people drive these things (and abuse these things) on the street as well...???
I would love to save a massive chunk o' weight, but i'm leery. I'd also be leery about ordering them, as if they're not quite the rate, or height, load, whatever you wanted, there is no adjustment. How do you make SURE you order the right one...???
then don't buy any corvettes made in the last, oh 30 years or so, as IIRC they all used transverse fiberglass leaf springs in their IRS
I believe the Chevy astro vans used a composite leaf as well.
