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?
