Need some rear springs ..............
« on: April 03, 2008, 11:17:56 AM »

Hey All,

Getting ready to replace the stock springs on "Frosty", my 73 dart daily driver. Frosty is listing hard to the port, and sagging like a high-schooler's pants.

I wouldn't mind an inch or two over stock ride height. Just a stock /6 under the hood. Just a mild driver car, but I'd like to get some better handling. It sucks right now.

Called John R. Spring, and got a price of $115 for a set of five leaf replacements, with bushings in 'em. I was REALLY unimpressed with their customer service. BAAAAD Roll Eyes  Anyone ever deal with 'em? Ever get these 5 leaf replacements?

Any other companies or vendors you all can recommend for my needs?

Thanks everyone,

Chris E.

Those are the same springs that JC Whitney was selling a while back.  Don't know if they still do or not.  I bought a set two years ago, finally got my car ready last July and went down the track last august/sept.  I am real happy with them.  The back of my car sits too high so I'm gonna try lowering blocks to bring it down for improved weight transfer but the springs are good units.
