I read this a few days ago but forgot. Which side leaf spring is the one with more of a curve to it?

Soaring

Reverse eye

LCC

More curve? Wouldn't it raise the car? and isn't the reverse eye is to lower the car?

baddog671

No, the springs arent identical, one as a slight more curve. It goes on the drivers side I think but not certain...

Soaring

I don't know for certain, but the reverse eye just looks like it has more curve to it when compared to the other two. And, as far as I know, there is no difference between the leaf that goes on the driver's side and the one on the passenger side.

When Iput minein, there was a driver and pass side to them...An old trick with old drag racing guys was to stiffen the pass side but for the street I would think they're the same...

Soaring

I could see that on roundy round tracks, but not drag racing. And, certainly not on a street machine.

Someone asked this same question a few days ago and I was gonna mark my leafs but forgot which ones and cannot find the post again. Its only a slight difference, but apparently the car sat alittle crooked, so the poster said.

I would think the slightly more arced one would be on the drivers side to compensate the drivers weight.

Stiffer passenger spring would put more torque to the ground on a drag car...regardless of limited slip or not.

Good thinking, didnt even think of that one.

And btw Glen, I think the arc on the springs regarless what kind is the same. I think its just that the originals had the eye above the end leaf, the mideye at the same level as the end leaf, and the reverse under the leaf. Same arc but puts the leaf closer to the body=lowering.

I may be wrongthough...

Im going to measure the arc of my leafs to see if there is a difference...
