New B body leaf springs, which vendor?

[R413]

Super stock springs are entirely different that the HD mopar performance units.

I like the SS springs. I don’t like how they sit with the extra spring on the passenger side. I bought 2 sets and use both drivers side on 1 car and both passenger on a car. The cars hook up great with no noticeable difference on the street over using at rt and LF set.

I found that the passenger side (right) S/S spring(-454) would sag because the second leaf did not extend all the way back to the rear shackle eye. So, I ended up using left side springs (-455) on both sides in my 1967 R/T. Now, 25 years later, both springs (3800 lb. S/S) are sagging at the shackle ends. I am planning on pulling them out and have a local spring shop rebuild them.

Excellent idea! I posted sometime ago about my SS springs from DC. Made in Mexico, no warranty. But the dealer reimbursed me and told me to do whatever with the springs. IIRC they went on a drag car.
So I had a local spring shop build a set. Asked them to raise them 1 inch above stock in 2006. Still are fine. Original HD 440 springs were so bad that the body dropped far enough to squash the brake line on the diff slightly.

When I originally bought my '67 R/T project, the rear springs were sagged. I bought a new set of Mopar Performance "Hemi" rear springs and installed them. I did not see much difference in ride height with them, so went with S/S springs.

According to the dealer, they found out that the Mexican springs were not entirely consistent in quality. The dealer quit taking orders. Mine dropped the bumper about 1 inch lower than the old sagged springs.

Looks like its Espo for the win. Got me a little concerned, I put Mopar ss springs on a couple of my cars in the last 3 or 4 years. They fit perfect and set the car exactly like I wanted it and I don't see anything wrong yet but maybe I got lucky and got a good set.

Me too! Mine have been on since 2015. No sag. But I don't haul much other than a spare, a scissor jack and the battery. Probably would have bought from ESPO but never heard of them until recently.

I looked at link for Eaton Spring, and the springs were about $500US each. By the time I would have them up here in Ontario, I would have about $2,000CAN into them. Too rich for my blood!

I have both cars wearing Mopar SS springs and am happy with both sets.

I put Mopar HD biased leafs on my RR twenty years ago, haven’t sagged a bit yet. I bought Mopar springs for my Dart eight years ago and they were over an inch different in height.
