My opinion is that 1/2 leafs are much better then 1/4s.Having both types and
driving them almost daily, one or the other, sometimes both,
(how does one drive both at the same time) I prefer the cornering of the 1/2
leaf
car over the 1/4 leaf car.
1/4 leafs tend to "wind up" and lead to wheel hop, this never happened to me in
a
1/2 leaf car. Also the ride is a bit better with the 1/2 leafs, not that we're
talking Cadilac quality, but every little bit helps.
I have even evaluated the possibility of converting 1/4 leafs to 1/2 leafs. It
is
possible and I have heard it has been done but not by me. Yet!
Just my opinions.
