Super Stock Spring questions

[malex]

My 64 Plymouth started out with Split Mono leafs, cal tracs and QA1 dble adjustable shocks. Best of 1.38 60 with that combo, could never get good consistency. Went to ladder bars, Strange rear coil overs and haven’t looked back with consistent low 1.30 60’s.
The Split Mono leafs, cal tracs and QA1s are now on my Dart, no track time to report yet and so far my biggest b*tch now is the noisy banging from the aluminum front bushing. The shift to 3rd on the street is dreadful. BANG.

Had the same issues with a buddy's Challenger that was somewhat nose heavy....and he was on the phone with John a lot and did everything John said and then some but ended up like you did and stuck ladders on it. All the issues went away.

Ok most of you are giving real advice but some are not really reading what I posted.
The air shocks were put in to first see what height the car was at without the loadlevelers and also so I can find the height very easily where I want it by putting in a little air. (read quick and easy) They are not staying and are just a temporary "tool" for now.

"Springs and Things" are good for what they are but not for me. They are cheap in price and great to buy at a swap meet to save on shipping. I've seen far too many sets go flat within a year.

I ran a set of 456/7 SS springs in my Dart for many years with MP long shocks and never adjusted my front end as described and was able to 60' in the 1.40's and run 10.40's-50's all the time.

I guess I could order a new set since more than one has said that the Mexico SS's are still working or have mine re-arched is really my only decision to make.

Probably just re-arch mine buy rear shocks and call it a day.

Thanks All

As far as the current banter....
Buddy of mine runs a 72 challenger stock body/interior,, with the caltracs runs 9.xx on good days(10.0 car) with consistency you can shave off of. With 9" tires.
He did use John's recommendations in the beginning. About mid 1.30 short times
