Where is the best place to get R/T or H/D leaf springs.  I have been searching for a little while now, so does anyone have a direct link to some of the springs ya'll are using, and What do you guys reccommend.  Thanks! ;)

Eaton Detroit Spring company.  Great service, parts in stock and built to factory blueprints.

I have bought two sets from Mopoar, and a few friends of mine have used them as well, no problems.

But there are some people that have said they got weak fast, they are made in Mexico, my friends
at Chrysler have not heard one complaint. So if my springs go weak before they should, I will buy
from someone else.

I have installed 2 sets of Mexican Mopar springs they will drop 2.5" or more in the first 6 months
do they want a complaint from me or my customer ?

Well, mine are already flat as a pancake, so I might stay away from those ones. :yesnod:  Anyone else recommend a company that sells them?

I have the MP spings in my '68, with no problems. They've been on the car at least 3-4 years now. Car still has a nice stance to it, I can fit 295/15/50's out back with no problems.

Talk to the guys at Mancini Racing.  They carry MP springs as well as other brands.  They also have new spring hangers and spring hanger reinforcement plates (like the Hemi cars came with) if you need those.

Lightning

has anybody tried MP's "oval/dirt track" Springs?  It said that the spring rate was 120lbs per inch. Then it says that the fronts are 20.5" long and the rears are 35" long.....so this means that it's a 4200lb spring? whereas the Super Stock springs are 3800lb ones?  (am I reading this right?)
when racing deals fall apart.....you go home, like me.

Ghoste

The spring rate means the amount of force required to deflect the spring one inch.
