There are all kinds of suspension variations between model years, transmission and engine options, etc.  The info I posted is specifically for '82s, all of which came with the CrossFire 350 and A4s  Wink

Darn! I'm just confused now. I might have seen one more right in the middle, but on this picture; I'm counting 8 and I have no clue what the P.O. did.


I have the original papers from the dealer; I know he has (had) Gymkhana, but is this still the original ?

(sorry about the scrolling and angle) .

I think there is probably a small leaf hiding above that last liner (to the far right of your pic) that would make #9 in the pack.

The top, short leafs are not included in the count, as they don't really contribute to spring stiffness. I see a 7 leaf set-up there.

Well, it has to go anyway.  I've been saying it for 2 years now (the budget just isn't there...) but the next "major" project is the suspension and those seven 33 years old leafs are gone!  Maybe a winter project if I get my darn tax refund sometimes this year (YEP!  I'm still waiting for it...).
