I bought the 5 leaf spring set for my '69 Camaro SS from HBC. They are an excellent reproduction of the originals and set the ride height of your car to the proper specs. I recently sold my originals to a member here at sYc. Originals have a GMU casting on the edges of some the leaf springs. Here is the link to HBC...http://www.heartbeatcitycamaro.com/s...ect-1968-1969/

Originals can be re-arched to factory specs by a competent spring shop. ..that way you keep the original features and markings and your original oem springs.

A place near me does them all the time..been in business for 50+ years

I'd say $1500-$1800 pair
If , being true NOS.
GM did have springs available into the 80's but the ones I saw looked like your typical replacements. Angle cut ends with slides impregnated into the individual leafs with sheet metal wrapped rubber spring clamps. These would be considered NORS
New Old Replacement Stock and look like 70 & up Camaro/Nova

The Reproduction HBC & Most Camaro vendors have the 4 leaf Z/28 & 5 leaf SS / HD Suspension Springs that are Beautiful......
