A chunk of aluminum bar stock , a lathe and a boring afternoon ( no pun intended ) was all mine cost.
For the time and work , the price isn't terrible.........but I'd bet they aren't standing there turning cranks either.
They are as simple as they look.

Butch,,,,
Are the dimensions you need on that link correct for your application ?

(1.5" diam, 2" length ? )

Do you have caltrac springs,,,or MP springs ( I assume they are MP given the link you provided) ,,,send me a PM....

I could use a pair for my SS springs...

So are they really of much benefit? I've had a new set sitting in a box for 6 years and didn't really know if they were worth installing or not (I can't remember why I bought them in the 1'st place...LOL)

I have Cal-Tracs with split mono's on my Challenger & made alum bushings for both the front & rear leaf spring eyelets on my car. Sorry, no pics though.

Their actual benefit is probably measured a couple numbers to the right of the decimal , but they do help.
I did changes to the front suspension at the same time as I did mine , so I have no real data to support this , but it definitely makes sense on paper.

Thanks for the replies. I'm kind of on the fence. Mancini has them for $39.00. I am looking for 60 ft improvement.
