getting the right springs
can anyone please help advise me find the right
springs for my '69 nova? i talked to a couple springs shops around here, but they were both extremely rude and didn't like me asking questions. what i am looking for are a set of multileafs for my originally monoleaf car. i have a set of multileafs on right now, and i want to stay multileaf because it's just so much more comfortable than my monoleafs. the reason i want to replace them is because they are already sagging, and if i installed the traction bars now, there would be less than 3" of clearance - the spring sits dead flat when the car is empty. now, why don't i re-arch it you ask? well, the spring shops here (the only ones within reasonable drive) are charging me $78 per spring to rearch them... i figured that at that price, i might as well get new ones. that, and i could probably sell the old ones to someone else. what i need in this spring, is the ability to clear a 26" tall tire for the track, and enough spring rate to hold weight and hook well. i am also going to be running traction bars with these as mentioned above, so i hope i get enough ground clearance. i figure if i ever step up to 28" tires i can always run a slightly longer shackle to raise it up a little more. so does anyone have any suggestions/opinions? any sources for springs online? thanks! |
