Moneymaker...
You sell these right? Do they make them for a 67/8 Cougar? & Are they for strip only , would they be something I could use on a car that sees street time as well? Are they strong around corners? & can they handle the weight with passengers & a trunk full of junk? Thanks. Kel

I have a pair of them on the '66. They are "bad as hell" and cool too. I'll be able to give you a testimonial in a couple weeks. SteveW

So, I would guess that you would need to use the Flex-Track along with the Fiberglass leaf springs instead of regulator slappers?In other words, would a normal slaper bar damage the Fiberglass spring?

Cal-Tracs or Slide-a-Links are the prefered traction device for the glass springs.
Slapper bars can be used as long as they are properly adjusted so the snubber hits the spring eye.
I see hundreds of bracket racers week in and week out who have their snubbers everywhere but where they should be.
You'd be surprised at how many guys even install them backwards.  ------------------

Thanks Alex, I added the site to my favorites. Two things though..one kinda corney they used a lowered truck as an example of what happens to stock springs. Kinda like the guy that does the knifes and is all delicate with the "sharp" knife but then smashes the hell out of the bread when the "other" knife cuts. Second, "We have had our springs on race cars that have lasted five years." I hope they last longer on street vehicles that are raced! Do you think they can make a spring that is the equivilant to a 5 leaf spring for Autocross racing? [This message has been edited by SundanceKid (edited 04-21-2003).]

Their webmaster is not the slickest.
YOu should have seen our website before Beth got control of it. 
Bottom line is the product works.------------------

I've yet to hear a single person complain about them, and the first person I knew to run them was in 1997 and he is still happy today with the same springs on his Camaro.
