As said in my last post, I am building a "gasser" style early 60's Volvo 122s and have been trying to pick my rear suspension. I bought a narrowed nine-inch yesterday to go behind it. Ive been contemplating a ladder bar/leaf spring setup. After researching and trying to find info on this setup, most everybodys answer to this problem is ditch the whole thing and go with 4-link/coil-overs. Or go with Cal-tracs, one of the two... But neither of these setups fit the 60's nostalgic look. **So really what i want to know is what is the "best" way of preventing the binding suspension problem of this setup?** The three ways ive heard of are housing floaters, double-shackled leaf springs, and sliders on the front of the spring. Ive only seen the floating housing in action on "Gearz Tv" on Speed Channel, so are there any advantages to the others and what are your thoughts on the "nostalgia" setup?
