Hi all Installed new springs in the wagon today. With the original parts in the car and a 455 in place of the factory 350 I had a real low rider on my hands. I contacted Eaton Detroit spring for replacements since 455 wagon springs arent available from local parts stores. I told them I had a non-factory engine in the car and ask if they could help me. They responded that custom springs were there spatially I then asked if they could add an extra one inch of trim height while we were at it. The cost was about $300.00 delivered, not much more than NAPA or Moog . The car looks great with trim height right where I wanted it. I highly recommend these guys as a source to get springs for our cars. Check out the site and a pic. of my days lobor. http://www.eatonsprings.com/
John: You have great timing - I've been researching replacement springs to install when I upgrade the rear-end. Thanks for the info. I like the wagon - it looks great! :TU: Paul
That sure does sit nice,i will have to check them out for my wagon as i think the old 300-v-8 springs would be too light in rear also.
Went back to check price they were $360.00 shipped for all four springs $165.00 a pair without shipping If you get fronts dont panic (Like I did ) when you notice that the top side of the spring is not ground flat like the originals. They will sit flat on one end because of how theyre formed. Mine had a dab of white paint on the top end of each spring. Thanks for the complement on the wagon. It has been a fun car. Everyone smiles when they walk past at cruse ins.
