Default Re: Cars you don't see many of anymore

Charllywool the Bathurst XY rear end was not the same as factory.
I was going to ask Dicky boy what they truly did to the rear end of them XD leaf springs.

The XE race cars do not have the same rear end as well as factory they even modified that a hell of a lot.

Drive a AU ute on, not a bad leaf sprung rear setup in the XR6-8 not to mention I think 4 different types are all good setups for what they are. they got the geometry sorted much better you know. but hey ignorance is bliss.

So what I am pointing out is that not all leaf sprung cars are the same at all, like most claim such to be, it's like oh leaf springs are @%&! well that's not a fact. a good setup leaf can be way better than most think.

I could modify a XY Falcons rear leaf springs setup and if you can truly drive you would be amazed at how much better it is than the stock rubbish.
