Something just not right when it cost less in Canuck Bucks than Merican ones.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Since they carry John RR's name , then if he endorses these they must be OK
No, the ebay versions are cheap knock off versions, they only have one R in the name

Does anyone know if these are a good buy and would fit my 1969 Plymouth Belvedere? Just looking to replace my worn out stockers..

theres a thread on them in the handling section. most responses were positive from those that had ACTUALLY USED THEM
Just because JC Whitney sells them, doesn't mean they are junk. I have read good things about JohnR springs for years.

John R Spring has always been based in Detroit MI (actually a NE suburb known as Troy). 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.htmhttp://www.eatonsprings.com/Trivia here.................The name "John R" is the road that their first store was probably located on, hence the name.

So if you are driving to Florida take the 401 down to Detroit and either pick the Johnie R springs up or go over to Mancinis and pick up theirs. 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.
