HI, I am loking for help with the selection of rear springs for a 67 sport coupe. I have never dealt with a leaf spring car. I would like to stay away from a modified suspension( 4bar,ladder bar,4 link) if at all possible in order to maintain a "sleeper" look. The car is tied and has aftermarket tubular frame rails. Approx. 500 ft/lb to the rear, mini tub. Any suggestions as to mono/5 leaf with traction bars, etc.? Any help would be appreciated.

If the car will be seeing a good amount of track time, go mono-leaf and Cal-Tracs (from Calvert Racing) for the ultimate set-up.
Traction bars are also an option, and I've run traction bars, and once you hit 11s or faster you'll appreciate the Cal-Tracs. Competition Engineering also makes a set of bars called slide-a-links for another route, but again I'd go Cal-Tracs. All the best hooking stock eliminator cars run them, and the company is run by a stick-shift racer, so you know customer service isn't BS!

I'm running Landrum mono-leafs and Cal-tracs on my '70, and they work great for street and strip use. Landrum sells their springs on models and weight over the back-half of the car instead of just model and engine. Calvert Racing also sells a new spring called a split-mono and they seems to work well I've heard.

X2...i agree

I would not think that multi-leafs are an option, as your car never had that as an option. You could buy aftermarket multi-leafs and change the brackets on your rear end; but all the spring does is support the weight of the car, and keep the rear end centered in the middle once you go with either traction bars or as mentioned the superior CalTracs. I would buy new replacement SS springs for your car, as the originals are going to be getting weak, and were probably from a lighter duty application. I would also look seriously at double adjustable shocks for the rear and the front, with drag springs on the front as well.

Double adjustable shocks are nice but more $$ than some may want to spend. Calvert has guys hitting 1.2X 60 foot times on a 10" tire using Rancho single adjustable $90 shocks. I was told to run those, and I'm hitting 1.52 60 foots on drag radials and 1.46 60 foots on the spray.
