For a cheaper or interim solution. Get a set of spring clamps from Pepboys or similar. Cutoff the rear most spring clamps on your leaves and replace them with these. When go to the track, take them off the back and add them infront of the axle to make the front of leaf stiffer and to allow the rear to open up. This adds dynamic lift when the axle tries to wrap up and drives the rear into the ground.

Then add some Caltracs and a set of QA1's, for an even better setup. ;)


Your solution is a very good, cheap start though!

LOL, it took a few for it to register, and I know the beetle is air cooled.
