I'm still in the process of putting my T-Bucket together and one area (among many) that confuses a novice like me is the suspension.

The rides I've seen all seem to be 'over shocked'. Talking to a suspension expert, he agress - typically they are set-up wrong and don't need the level of suspension they have. Buckets are light cars and yet have shocks designed for vehicles 3-4 times their weight.

Anyway here's my scenario; I want to use a 3 leaf rear spring and coil over rear shocks. I fully admit the coil overs are for looks only and I think the spring alone will do the job.

So are there any coil overs that are soft enough to be used in conjunction with a transverse rear spring?

I've been at Total Performance and elsewhere and they do have shocks but no coil overs to be used with rear springs.
