Source for Rear leafs
« on: September 28, 2006 - 07:13:03 PM »
Time for me to replace my rear leafs on my 70 Chally with a 440.  Any of you guys have a good source for rear leafs.  I want to keep it as close to stock as possible.  I've read that the ones from Mopar Performance sag after a short time.  Any advise???

Eaton Springs in Detroit builds to factory specs.  Excellent products. This is NOT Eaton Corp. I have the contact info at work, I'll post it tomorrow.

Everyone told me...go to no one else except Espo Springs & Things.  Their service and prices can be beat.

Got mine there and I am very happy.

They also can arch them a little more if you want more height, and they carry the shackles and any other hardware you might need.

After all the MP warnings, I got the ESPO springs. Haven't had them in long enough to have them sag (2 weeks), but the ESPO people were great to deal with.

This is the link to Eaton Detroit Springs.  Five years ago I did my 79 Camaro with 1" higher coils and leafs from here and they were terrific.
