leather same to be more durable. but at that point it is your call.

mine is a leather black and gray from wilson buy at Walshit

but one things that I dont know is if Stu has removed both stoper in each coil. there is one on top and bottom. mine are still there but with my football i thing i ll removed these stoper.

my bump stops are still in, it doesnt make a difference. huckernage, you could have done it way easier by just squeezing the footballs vertically instead of making them long and skinny. you dont even have to take the springs off to get them in then. too each his own though

Does the track you run at do tech inspections prior to you running? I can't see that set up being able to pass a tech inspection at the track.

use a smaller football with higher psi

factory coil + large football = 4x4
factory coil + smaller fb = ?
prokit + large fB = doesnt fit
prokit + smaller fb = just right

Tom, you should go to the dealer on the day's they get a new shipment of GM cars. There are a few of them that get delivered with spring blockers. Metal rods that keep the springs from compressing. Those work 10x's better then the football's do.

ok you are comparing something that costs at least 1 maybe 2 grand??? to something that costsd 20 for 2 *****.

how much of a difference do you think that would make over footballs??? they are both rubber "bags" that you inflate with air. sure you might be able to get a little stiffer with real bags. i went to the track lastnight with 20 psi in my footballs and i barely noticed any weight transfer. now i could have raised the pressure to 30 or 35 psi, which i was going to do if it hadnt started to rain. i am sure if i raised the pressure to that it wouldnt transfer at all.
