    It would be easier for you to go look at them at the track, take pics with your phone. And ask questions. Did you buy a mod ??

        a "clamped"car means TYPICALLY that the LR spring is not floated on the birdcage. It will be inside the LR birdcage CLAMPED in front of the axle. It is only affected by the LR dropping and the pullbar travel. On alot of the clamped cars the RR is a zlink majority run that spring on top of the rearend housing.

        A 4-4 floated car means the LR spring is floated and is attached to the back of the birdcage. And on the RR the spring is floated and is in front attached to the birdcage
