I think we may have been through this before, but I'm still not getting
it. Isn't the swing spring longer (eye to eye) than the fixed-center
spring? It seems as though it would have to be to keep the rear
suspension angles the same given the longer axles used with the swing
spring . . . .
If the fixed-center spring is shorter, it would cause a lot of negative
camber when installed into a longer axle (later) car, but that's not
mentioned, so where's my misunderstanding?
