Speaking of settled springs, I need a rear spring badly. Mine has gone from level to concave.
The K. bros. spring is reported to be VERY stiff so I don't want to go that way.
Since I do not have adjustable arms or top cams, I am reluctant to have a spring shop make one from scratch. Even a very small deviation from spec can render a spring useless. The drawings that are floating around may or may not be totally accurate.
I have talked to Cobra Restorers, McCluskey, Motorsports International and Eaton Spring, but got no help.
Suggestions?
Can the 7/8000 suspension be retrofitted? The rear ride height on these cars is OK, but the front is way off.
Because replace the spring is such a pain, I would like to have a new one in hand before tearing the car apart.
Also, what does CS use for shocks?
Thanks Rick
