First thing try not to use upper case in your post it makes it seem like your YELLING.


Any how I have a 1966 that came with mono spring front and rear.And in the front it had tybular control arms.I thought the car drove ok .I have been trying to bring my car back to N.C.R.S specs over the last few years and removed the mono spring and installed the correct suspention in it.After one ride I realized that the monos spring set up drove 200% better then the factory suspention.I have NO idea what the spring rate was but it was a trw spring

Good Luck and be SAFE

Do you still have the old front monspring set up? I have a '79 that needs new suspension this winter and was thinking about adding it. A used one may save me some money.

Composite monospring is the way to go for driving but it will cost you in originality. I have the 420 lb unit in my 67 bb and it weighs about 6 lbs vs the old steel spring at about 50 lbs. Great handling too.
