Has anyone converted their roadster from leaf spring to 4 point? It looks like it would be easy.

rear ends
I think a couple of guys on the www.risensonracing.com forum have done so. They have some cool roadster stuff going on over there. Chris Coker runs the site. That might be a place to look.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Thanks SLO roadster for the reply. Apparently someone has done a 3 point for the racing and he stated he had gained some pretty good time for the mod. I am street though and will probably do it for the looks just to get rid of those rear spring perches!.

Rear spring perches
If you have the rear springs mounted correctly, you really don't see them. Its the people who mount the springs upside down who make the springs look bad.
