Detroit Spring, Inc Leaf Springs - Eaton Springs

[sixt9x33rs]

I rearched my original springs on my 69 Z/28, and have been very happy with the job quality ride height etc and it has been three years. I recently bought a 69 Convertible which has saggy springs and I am going to replace them soon.  I can buy brand new Eaton Springs made by Detroit Spring, Inc, pick them up locally at NPD. The cost for the new springs with tax is $286 the cost for rearching the original springs with the clamp kit is $272 with tax. I really like to restore and reuse the original parts but in this situation I am leaning towards the new springs. Has anyone had any experience with these Eaton Springs made by Detroit Spring, Inc.? Give me your thoughts too...

Thanks,

Lawrence

They are good quality. They are not exact.

Not exact...in what way?

I have a full set of 4 on my '69. They are not technically correct if you know what to look for. They are very good service replacements that look slightly different than production line springs. If you don't know what to look for this is not an issue.

BTW - I was not happy with the ride height once they were on the car (too high) so I took some measurements and they made me a new set and shipped the second set out to me no extra charge. When I got the second set installed they were DEAD NUTS PERFECT all the way around. They sent the UPS guy to come and pick up the first set from me to ship them back. That is good customer service.

Guys,

Great information I appreciate it. I think since I have had good luck with the local vendor rearching the ones on my Z/28 I am just going to get the originals rearched and roll with that.

Thanks,

Lawrence
