Who's the go to spring guys for a set of good stock ride height non sagging rear leaf springs?
I don't want off shore sagging springs. This is for a NON RACE 73' Coronet daily driver.
Are any of these spring companies present at Carlisle next month?

Thank you in advance.

Well, there's ESPO (aka Springs 'n Things) & Eaton...
Should be a spring shop local to you there in NY, I'd think.

Wish there were in my area. If there is, most probably they are not good or have no good material to make 'em from.
New York City and its surrounding burbs/counties used to be the place on earth to get anything done or purchased, just about every industrial services are fossilized now.
There's only some deals on Condo's at a few million each. LOL.

If you chose the local spring shop option, prepare for them add a spring.

While a higher spring rate is what most cars of that era need. Adding a spring adds too much.

Call Long Island Truck Parts (LITP) & they will know some spring shops that do truck & probably automotive.

I recommend ditching those rubber mounted iso-springs in favor of the standard '71-72 style springs/hangers/U-bolts.
