Default Re: leaf springs from Mchenry Classic

Brian,

We had one batch that had the clamps on the second leaf in the rear in the wrong spot. You were the one that caught that for me and it was corrected. That was only on the Z28 leafs. As far as height, this is a crap shoot for any one and all we can do is make the spring fit the factory print for an average car. If we made the springs for big block air convertibles they would all sit too high except those cars. We always tell people that there is a chance the car might not sit at the exact desired ride height. Sometimes they do need some minor re arcing but this is easy for any local spring shop. We strived to make these as correct as possible, but with as few of these as are being made the cost for tooling up for the number stamping is prohibitive. If these are not correct enough you can always look through 10 or 15 sets of originals to find enough leafs that aren't broken or partially rusted through to make a full set. Of course even when you finish doing this, the car still may sit too low from using worn original leafs. Thanks, Frank
