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

That is an awsome price. 7 leafs is way overkill though I would save the weight. I went with HD 5 leafs.

 You can get fiberglass bumpers for about 130 bucks.

 Franks fiberglass.

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.
