Does anyone know of a good source for new leaf springs? ESPO Spring seems to be the best I've been able to find so far.

I do not recomment JC whitnet springs to anybody, I bought a pair and after 6 monthes were weaker than the 35 year old ones I pulled out. They sag really quickly and can't hold much load which also affects corning/handleing.

I bought two pairs of JCW HD 5-leaf springs, one pair in 1990 and one in 1992. They are still holding my Darts up very well and handling is good. Don't know if their quality has gone down??? Excellent deal for $130/pr w/ship back then.

Prices are still the same, I also bought the 5 leaf HD springs, I think about 3 years ago. Maybe I got a bad spring, maybe quality has gone down. I don't like mine though and I am eventually looking (money permitting) to replace them.

I just got the HD springs for my dart. They were drop shipped from somewhere in Wisconsin. I didn't have the "one side bigger than the other" problem. I guess my old springs were real tired 'cause it raised the rear 1 1/2 "! I'm sure they will settle down a little.
I'll let you know in 6 months how they are. :D

How about a set of Mopar performance superstock springs.

I have very saggy 5 spring packs, but when I change to the 8.25 suregrip I am going to put in some MUCH heavier duty springs... what are 6 spring packs, are these the ones called XHD?

What does ESCO want for a pair of ultra-high strength springs?
