Re: 1969 Nova rear leaf springs
[ QUOTE ]
I've used the repop springs from Ron N. they are very nice. Fit well, and have a good arch. Better than any others I've found. I like the coating that comes on them too. I think it is close to what was used on original cars including the frt sub frames. I hope they continue to produce them. I'm gonna need a couple of sets. [/ QUOTE ] Do the spring ends look the same as the originals? As I recall, originals were somewhat squared off on the ends of each leaf. I'll have to contact Ron myself. How about the ride height?

Re: 1969 Nova rear leaf springs
Clue me in on who Ron is please. Bodywork is almost done on my 70 and it will soon be time for paint and suspension.

Re: 1969 Nova rear leaf springs
I think Wayne gets them from Ron.
I will need a set for the Deuce this year, as the original springs are about done. I have been putting the spring 'upside down' on the axle during the launch because they are so weak. So, last year I put a band-aid on in the form of some cheap air shocks. This year it's time to get the good replacement springs, and put the air shocks on Benjamin's car to clear his 275/60R/15's on Cragars!  The kid loves those wheels, breaks my heart

Re: 1969 Nova rear leaf springs
 I've been told by a few folks here that 275-60s (14s) won't fit under a Nova. I'd love to mount my ProTracs on a set of SS or TT wheels and run them on the Nova. Lemme know if it works for you.

Re: 1969 Nova rear leaf springs
You're gonna have to jack it way up. Better get some extensions to go with the air shocks. And no riders in the back seat. Especially Howie.
