Sam,
The big complaint of sagging springs was thought to be linked back to weak steel from Mexico. To my knowledge MP is still sourcing from our southern neighbor. You can always play it safe and go with ESPO and the bonus is you can have them custom set for your ride height pref. Example = I have hemi + 1". Good Luck..

I purchased a set of Superstock 456/457 springs and so far so good.

They looked to be good quality but they haven't been on the car long enough to see if they sag.

I would love to go with the espo springs but I live in Canada and because of the weight shipping duties,taxes,brockerage the costs would probably be more than the springs.Would you think by now that mopar would be aware of the issues ?

I've bought two sets from Mopar Performance in the last year. One set sat fairly high, but the last set the car sat low.
HOWEVER
The owner want a "low slung" look so we adjusted the torsion bars accordingly and it has the appearance he was after. The rear end sits level side to side no problem.

One thing is for sure, you can beat the price !

So if I were to get a set of new rear springs for my car, would I need to readjust the torsion bars?

i know ma mopar sticks it to ya with these parts, they don't want them back.

so what is everyone doing if you get stuck with a bad set of springs. i think my car looks like poo-poo the way it leans towards the left. i was thinking of having the left one re-arced, but I'm afraid that it might set too high then. let me know, thanks, Greg

Go with ESPO or Eaton, you will not be happy with the MP springs.

I bought a set in 2000 or so and the driver side sits MUCH lower that the pass side...it looks stupid. I really haven't done anything to fix it, just live with it. yeah, they were made in mexico.
