As an international buyer is saw that the shipping costs, to the Netherlands, Europe, for example leaf springs are 590 dollars. The leafsprings itself costs 690 dollars. That would make the total really expensive. If you sell through Ebay you can use the Global Shipping Program that reduces the shipping cost substantialy.

I doubt the price will vary much compared to the current Hotchkis Sale. Quote: Which Fox part numbers fit a 72 Imperial? Try the Fox Marine line shocks... Are you asking about 'actual fit' or 'tuned fit'? BigBlockMopar.com

We have very good rates with UPS, may save a few bucks.

Don't think any shock-maker would be willing to setup a test-rig to fab just one set of shocks. Although I would think a qualified person with years of shock-experience should be able to come up with a set of well tuned shocks that would work 'pretty ok' on your car based on weight and use. Otherwise you might be left to your own devices and have to modify/beefup existing shock-internals. BigBlockMopar.com

On the fronts I run the KYB's, #KG4507. Most obvious issues I'm finding is that they all could benefit from bigger torsion bars, but that's also because I've lowered them a good deal.

The nice thing about our new system is the guys can do the math based on that information to give us a good ballpark to test a new shock from.

The fronts are the same as the 70s C bodies but the rears are longer. I've got the numbers around here somewhere. My bro-in-law has access to some corner scales. I've been wanting to drop the Imperial on them to get some real world numbers. The only weight I have on it is from driving it across the scale at the landfill.

I don't think its as terrible as you may think. We may even have a Polara we can borrow from a friend to check them out. I sent a message to the boss and head of R&D, I'll let you know what they come back with.
