Hi again!

I would like to here some comments on the use of a parallel leaf spring set up in a street rod, good or bad!

And, can I get some feedback on good manufacturers of their product.

Thanks!

Terry

I installed a chassic engineering kit in my 36 Ford. It is bolt in, and uses alot of the existing hole locations in the frame. I then installed a 75 Granada rearend, and it fit perfectly. I also used their bolt-in frontend, and transmission kits. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have used both the Chassis Engineering, and Posies parallel leaf setups. I feel the posies has a better ride, the Chassis Engineering setup is much stiffer.
