Deuce rear springs
The rear of the Deuce is sagging. I would like to replace te springs. Are the available 5 leaf sets O.K. I don't know if it is better to rearc the originals or does it really make a difference. Classic Industries and the Nova club have 5 leaf replacements.

Re: Deuce rear springs
If you feel that the car is low. Rebuild the originals. Reproduction springs sit way to high and are not accurate in look..BKH

Re: Deuce rear springs
Jim;
Don't buy the replacements!!! The latest replacement springs look better than the earlier ones, but they are still noticeably different than the originals. The differences are the anti-squeak pockets, they should be a rectangular depression at the ends of the leafs, not a small plastic protrusion or round depression. The shape of the 5th leaf is also a little different, as are the clamps. Make sure you have the correct, original springs in the car, and then get them re-arched - I think its even cheaper! M

Re: Deuce rear springs
Jim, I am just kidding about diet; I think I am more of a candidate for one than you. Anyway I agree with Brian and Marlin. Benz Springs in Ballard here used to do the re-arch on them. Its been many years since I've dealt with them. Don't even know if they are still there, but just look in the phone book.
