Firm Feel OE style leaf springs vs. road race/oval track set

[bull]

Has anyone ever used a pair of Firm Feel's road race/oval track leaf springs that could offer a review?

FYI, disappointingly the Firm Feel "OE style leaf springs" are just the made in Mexico Mopar Performance XHD springs with the price marked up 

Summit Racing has them for $50 cheeper than FFI, or maybe a Dodge dealer would be able to get them.  I too am interested in how the road race springs have worked out for people

I've got a set of Mopar oval track springs that are going in my car this winter. Mine are zero arch. First thing I noticed when they arrived is that they lack a lot of arch in the front segment, but still have a fair amount in the rear segment. They also are made up of four leaves that are 9/16 thick instead of the XHD style springs which are six leaves that are 7/16 thick. Oval track springs are rated at 120# per inch, whereas the XHD springs are most likely 140-150# per inch. However, when doing the old stand on them and measure the deflection trick, my 180 pounds could only get them to move 1 inch, so one they are installed and worked a bit they may loosen up some.

Yep, I'm interested too. I have the S/S springs in mine (since 1982, sagged some) but was thinking that Cal-Tracs and lighter springs with less roll steer might work as good at the track and better for touring/curves.

Something else to consider about mopars oval track springs is that the front segment is shorter than stock, like an SS spring, so they will require a different hanger than stock. I don't know if Firm feel's road race springs are that way or not, but I see the shorter front segmetn as a big advantage with the softer spring rate.
