So today I decided to make some leaf spring clamps. After a lot of reading, people have been saying it helps tremoudously with wheel hop, axle wrap, ect...

Decided to try it myself.

 

Wow what a difference! first thing I noticed, I went into reverse and everything felt a lot more stable. Usually when I go down my driveway, I get a little diff slap from the angle of the driveway, now it doesn't do it at all. Then I take off from a stop sign and I am actually going fast, no lag on take off. Took it around some tight corners and it now has less body roll. Overall this amazing for the price of it, only cost me about $10!

If you have leaf springs try this out :thumbup:  I placed the clamp right before the nub on the front portion of the leafs.

When you first told me about this....I was thinking this..

You might want to use Nylock nuts....lock washers may work loose. :ninja:

Worth a try....I have crazy wheel hop if I get on it to much when its dry...lol

[Draynor]

I was gonna do that, but those sqaure U-bolts are more exspensive :lol:

[uberkevin]

I think I'll do that to the truck.

 

See what happenes.

Merry Christmas to you!!!

[Draynor]

Those and a couple other things I plan to order soon, and it will be a completley differnet handling car :D

[jrock4224]

Nice!!!!! My 521 needs that treatment soon too

Finally picked up the BMW seats from my friend :D The color is close to the 510 stock red, but not perfect. I am thinking a might try and find the red vinyl paint for the BMW seats and paint the panels and such to match, since they are very faded anyway.

Also found 1 center cap at "H5WAGONS's" house, fits perfect! Anyone know what it's from? Looking for 3 more or a set!

only one, but one less thing to worry about

[Draynor]

Yeah it is, I saw that one last night too.

 

I think I may have found a set local. Can't really afford $35 each lol.

[tr8er]

When you want the D, on a shiny plate, $35 is not too much to pay.  But cheaper is better for sure.  

[skyblue]

I wish I paid 35 per for my snowflake caps. Lol
