Still toying with the leaf spring change on my Dart.
Would like to see some pictures of cars with Espo springs with either 1" over stock or the 2" over.
Likes dislikes ETC.

I love my 2" ones, but I wanted a good rake.

Do you think they settled some after you installed them?

I've got +1" ESPO springs on my '73 Dart Sport and really like the stance, especially with the 255/60/15s out back.
I'll post a picture when I get home.

Here's my Dart with the +1" ESPO springs. The rear tires in the picture are 225/70/14.
I don't have a picture with the 255/60/15 tires that are on it now.

Ok Thanks for the pictures . If there are more please post them. I leaning towards the 1" over stock. I think the 2" over would basically be like the SS springs I have in the car now.

1" over ESPO's.

Before


After


I don't have a recent photo, but they have settled to maybe right in between both above shots. I like them.

Thanks guys for the pictures .
I ordered up a set of the 1"over stock.
Hopefully the 1" over springs will give the car the stance and possibly the ride I'm looking for .
Thanks again,
Jeff

You can also flip the front hangers to give another inch if you find you need it. I went with the 1 inch over mancini,

Wish I could do that. I have the 3" inboard kit on the car and no more removable front hanger.

I think even the 1" over sits to high.

Bought the original height from Espo for my Dart and wish I would have gone an inch over. Sits a little low in the back end for my liking.

Obviously not A body but here is my E body with standard HD Espos and I put in a 1" lowering block. Guess I like the lower look.
