[BaadAssGremlins] So, how many leafs do I need??

["phl_campbell" <misteramx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After talking to Davis and some others, there is a bit of confusion 
to my leaf spring issue.  To make a long story short, I took my 
Chremlins 4 leaf springs to be re arched as the car, even with 
spring shackle extensions and leaf clamps, sits nearly on top of the 
tires...and the springs are flat as you look at them while the car 
is stationary, no arch at all.  Spring guy is using those springs 
along with some other springs from a set of Spirit AMX springs and 
making one good set for my race car, the Chremlin.  He was 
indicating that he would be using 7 leafs per side.

Some have suggested overkill, others see no problem with it.  Is 
there some formula for this?  Other than the weight, is there any 
issues with running that many leaf springs?  I'm pretty sure I'll 
have the axle windup issue under a lot more control, but will I 
actually be doing more harm than good?  I can deal with the added 
weight as it's in the rear and I have yet to pull the rear bumper.

Your thoughts??
