the shackle reversal bit is different between NT and WT. i have had calmini
springs for a few years and i like them.

[mrRocky]

wesley's calmini springs flex good, but its taken 8 years for them to soften up.

[Drew]

Take leafs out until its soft enough to flex well,
just like you would with just about any other brand of spring.
when they soften up & sag start putting leafs back in

Main things i didnt like with my calmini kit was that it would lift the rear wheels off the ground heaps easyer than no SR around corners and when i went to remove it, all the fang bolts were bent so i had to drill them all out

and the only differance with the NT and WT kit is the support bar between the front fangs. Im pretty sure they gave Tuls the wrong kit and thats all he had to change.

nope the stick down things that the springs bolt to are different as well.
NT is on the chassis and WT has the outboarded original shackle mount.

I could tell you aaaaalllllll about the problems of a calmini kit. They certainly do need some "tweaking" Basically mine is now using 4 leafs rear with custom 3/4 elliptic and boss adjustable shocks on custom mounts, and 3 leaves in the front (one removed) with soon to be custom top shock mounts and boss adjustable shocks as the bloody shocks that come with the kit are too long and keep bottoming out breaking the bottom shock mount even with the bump stop spacers provided.
