Was originally considering a custom rear spring pack replacement or the ones available through some of the other vendors but after I test drove the CALMINI X a while back I was impressed. At ~ 50% of the cost of the other spring pack replacements or custom it was pretty easy decision for me, plus I actually preferred this design for my application anyway, rather than the 10-14 springs in a pack the others offer.

IMO the on-road ride is much better than when I had the stock pack, with a longer shackle or when I added either a single AAL or a 3 pack.

Off road even more impressive; smooth & controlled with virtually no wheel/axle hop, they flexed so well I didn’t notice I forgot to take the sway bar links off until they day was half over.

Anyway that's my 1 week water cooler review

Nice looking springs. Still running a swaybar, eh?

I'm trying to comprehend here why Calmini would design their new springs with an English eye at the rear (leaf centers with the spring eye) like the stock springs were. I guess it works great for their shackles but they make contact with the "U" lower section of a Revolver shackle. That problem was half the reason why I went with Alcans when I had my springs made last year.

How is the wheel hop on the street? I see that they have a double military wrap.

My guess would be most people are not running revolvers.

I'm just using the line of thinking here that leaf-springs are already labor intensive pieces to build that must be built strong, why make an extra bend in them to get them to look like OEM springs and introduce a sharp bend into them?

But you're right, they will work grand for 99% of the people out there. I don't need springs so I don't care about it enough to go on.
