Dunno where their springs are actually made but they've been in business since the 70's or earlier (their website says 35 yrs). They may actually get their springs from Eaton Springs (just a guess/speculation), also based in Det. for many years. I did a few "Will Call" pick-up runs back around 2002 and they were good folk to deal with.............. http://www.johnrspring.com/index.htm http://www.eatonsprings.com/ Trivia here.................The name "John R" is the road that their first store was probably located on, hence the name.

You will have a couple of choices depend on your application. If you are going at the end of the month see what Sunday the WPC swap meet in on and pick them up there and enjoy buying all kinds of things you dont need. 1971 HEMI E BODY REGISTRY
