No, never heard of them. You're not talking about Super Stocks springs, right? I run repro HD springs with Comp Slide-a-Link bars. Handles and launches great, and has about a 5 year service life.

I think it's because I drive like Bo and Luke. Last set went when I did a rolling burnout that started around 45mph and ended around 80, the car sat lopsided after so I changed the springs, all good.

I think I would just use a good quality spring from Springs N things....

Unless you just like the Super Stock Springs?

Just my 2 cents.....

So far as I know, the Mopar springs are SS, that is drag racing. They were never intended for street or auto X use.

And E and B bodies require hangar extensions, which look scary to me.

I went with springnthings for the springs. Thanks for the help. Also noticed they only had a 4 leaf system on this car with 11 inch wide tires. Makes no since why people do what they do.
