70 Challenger HD Leaf Springs
« on: May 22, 2006 - 12:23:08 PM »
I have a set of Heavy Duty leaf springs for our 70 R/T SE Challenger.  Are they correct for a 73 Cuda?

Those would be perfect. Especially if the '73 had worn or light springs to begin with.

All E-bodies use the same rear spring dimensions.

My cluttered mind always gets heavy-duty mixed up with super-stock when talking about springs. 5 leafs for a small block, 6 for a big block. That I can tell you for sure.

I'm thinking of ordering the XHD (big block) springs for my 70 cuda 340. Any advice on this? Mancini doesn't offer the regular springs for the 340.
