Re: Installing heavy duty leaf springs on 93 club car
So the ride does get too harsh? It does seem like a big jump from 1 to 4. Maybe the 3 would be better or the add-a-spring version. It'll mostly be the kids that ride on the back.

Re: Installing heavy duty leaf springs on 93 club car
I just spent the weekend driving mine around with the hd springs and I don't think the ride is that bad.... It's a little stiffer than stock but if you've got passengers in the back, especially adults, you really need them. I saw plenty of people without them and the rear step was almost touching the ground... Personally, I would rather have a little bit stiffer ride knowing that I can handle four grown adults with no problem than a softer ride that bottoms out... Just my opinion....

Re: Installing heavy duty leaf springs on 93 club car
Thanks for the feedback. Any thoughts on whether the 3 leaf springs might be a happy in between? Hold more weight than the OEM but not quite as stiff as the 4 leaf? At least one of the E-tailers claim 100lbs extra per spring, per side. So if the stock single is the baseline then 2 leaves would carry 200lbs more (100 per spring), 3 leaves would carry and additional 400lbs over stock (200lbs per side), and 4 springs an 600 additional lbs. Sound logical?

I'm sure anything more than the stock single leaf would be a definite improvement. I never looked into the three leaf setup but I'm sure it would do you just fine.

I planned to remove a leaf this winter, but I think I might lift it NEXT winter so I put it off. In the meantime, the local hardware clerk is getting to know me. |

"bone jarring" may be an understatement! I was also thinking of taking 1 OR 2 out! But... just to let those of you know... CPP now has an "Add a leaf" http://www.cartpartsplus.com/add-a-l...-club-car.html |

Re: Installing heavy duty leaf springs on 93 club car
I heard about adding a leaf too late, unfortunately. I definitely would've done it that way instead.
In the meantime, if I come across any hitch-hiking sumo wrestlers, I'm GOOD TO GO. |

I wonder if these will work with everything else stock, including U bolts. |
