Car appears to sag now, leaf springs may be wearing out.
Would like a source that sells all items needed for replacement, springs, ubolts, bushings...

What's your location?  Shipping all that stuff can be expensive..

If your old springs are not totally destroyed consider having them re-arched by a QUALITY spring shop. The original
steel will be much better than any replacement spring. They car also add leaves if you want. I had the rear springs re arched on my Tbird
about 25 years ago and I recommend it over replacement springs. Pete

Is Eaton Detroit Spring worth the cost?  They seem to be 2 to 2.5 times the price of the competition.  I know you tend to get what you pay for but that difference is tough to justify.

I've re-arched many springs using a 1' section of railroad with a grade 8 bolt shank welded on an edge and a 5# Sledge hammer. Takes a little time but with the springs off, less than a day. I've found doing just the bottom 3 leaves (shortest ones) will give me what I'm looking for.

Charlie, Big road trucks have their springs re-arched. As far as cost for quality THATS YOUR CALL. Pete

Charlie,

It depends on the car and the owners desire/financial ability to make it as correct or better when it left the gate.

Me, I am very particular and have to have the best available, especially if HI-PO.. I had big trucks. I never had them re-arched. Cheaper and quicker to order them and install to keep the truck on the road. You are trying to re-temper fatigued metal and in no-way would I use Chineseium or NO-BRAND, even on a piece of junk.

Now that is my opinion only. Your mileage (and preference) may vary.

Please don't blast me as the above is IMO.

I bought a set of rear springs from another supplier for my 64 Fairlane.  No problems.  Unfortunately, I don't have their information any more.  As mentioned above, if you have a local spring shop they may be able to get springs for you.
