Hello, has anyone had their leaf springs restored. Mine are flat and in need of some help. I don't want to get new one's if I don't have to...eventhough it would probably be cheaper. Any advice anyone?

Thanks, Juan.

There is a place that re-arcs them on long island but it is cheaper like you said to buy new ones. So thats what i did. Hope this helps.

Asta La Pasta :runaway , what are your plans? Still going to build a Pure Stock :bow ? You may want to hold of on your springs, A set of worn out spring will work very well in making you Bee hook. Looking to restore? Then any good local spring co. can re-arch them for you. (Stay away form the people that rebuilt your front end :sick ) We have a place in CT that is reputable :aok . Let me know if you want me to do more reserch for you.

Geeteex, I was actually considering going with the re-acrhing route. There is a local shop near my house that said they could help...there specialty is heavy duty trucks.

thanks, Juan.

Hey Ralph, I'd really like to build a pure stock...but with a 4 speed???? I'd prefer an automatic so I could maximize everybit of pwer from the engine and get the best possible traction. Although I really do like the idea of pure stock...it seems like the toughest form of racing. :drive

As for the leafs, ah...they're looking pretty flat now, and since I had the front end redone, I thought it only made sense to touch up the rear suspension a bit. Nothing fancy, I just want my car to have the right stance and I want it to drive well on the track :-D

Asta la Pasta, Juan.
