[BaadAssGremlins] Re: What Traction Bars are YOU using??

Hey Davis,

Not sure why the price difference, but my spring guy here is taking 
my existing and very worn out 4 leaf Gremlin springs and using at 
least 3 of the springs from my Spirit AMX rear spring set, re arching 
them all at the same time, so I'll have a little more than the 
factory correct arch along with 7 springs....$120 total!  Guess I'll 
be pulling the rear bumper to compensate for all this extra weight I 
just added!!


> Yup That is Exactally what I have on my 72. I have the CE 70 
mustang ones. I had to use 2 sets of wedges though to get the angle 
right. I used 5 leaf HD springs from ESPO. 164.00 to my door for them 
which was alot cheaper them having them rearched and add leafs at the 
local shops. The 3 runs I made last year with them they seem to hold 
up well.
