most cars these days are using ladder bars and coil overs.I have done 3 of them and to me it is the easyest.A couple early racers used leaf but most used coil springs.Seemed to be a lot more work to use the leafs and get the height correct.Tom

I have ladder bars and think they work great. Wally Abella who did the Arnie Beswick clone wagon with leaf springs said he was not happy. At least at the drag strip. I made my own tunnel, but Iam a sheet metal worker by trade. If you know somebody its not that hard. For the driveshaft tunnel thats offset two inches just cut out the one side and move over the two inches and add a two inch strip.

A 4 inch grinder with a wire wheel will take off just about anything paint undercoating rust etc. ALWAYS wear eye protection and hang on tight.
