Hi Team,

Got some good advice on my brakes last time. Figured I'd come here first prior to ordering my next parts. I did pick up a Fan Shroud and Derale fans yesterday. I did some research and seemed like junk yard taurus parts would work, but I needed something quick. Hopefully there are no horror stories with those fans. Seems pretty basic, and I have two so if one fails I can still have enough cooling to get out of a jam.

Anyways - My rear tire is starting to rub which leads me to believe my leafs are going. The car is sitting lower than usual, I suppose I just don't notice it overtime. But added weight with roll bar, rear mounted battery, spare tire etc has it sagging more.

I'm looking at Hotchkis sport leaf spring kit for the E-Body. hotchkis 24367. Any thoughts or opinions on if should go a different route? I drive the car a ton. 3 thousand miles the past 6 weeks with 3 nights of cruising to the drag strip. It's not a race car, so doing major work in the rear is not needed.

Also looking for spark plug wires that are low RFI. Thinking MSD wires which is what I usually go with. But open to suggestions. Running a Holley sniper and want to make sure I keep noise down.

Thank you,
Bill R

The most common place for leafs is Espo Spring , they can build exactly what you need for height & 1/2 leafs for traction .
Hotchkiss tend to have lower springs for handling , a flat spring is harder to distort & will corner better but the rear will sit lower .
I would use Firecore wires  :alan2cents:
