Bergman Auto Craft Leaf Spring Relocation Kit With Sliders and Delrin Bushings
I put mine on over the weekend:
My car previously had the MP Offset Shackle kit since 2009. I ended up welding up the slots I had to cut in the framerail from then. I didn't have to change out my spring pads, the locating hole was actually oversized so the small ~1/4" per side difference was just taken up by the hole. It actually looked that the rearend was probably 1/4" left in the car the entire time before I put this kit on.
The only thing I found is that my ESPO springs from 2002 have the larger spring eye bushing than the kit is designed for so I put it together with my existing polyurathane bushings, which didn't seem to be a problem. The bolt size is shared with the MP kit. You might want to check your springs first if you don't already have the large bolt.
The spring definately sits a lot flatter, you can see the scratches and dents from my trip last year on power tour when there was a lot of weight in the trunk and the leaf spring clamp rubbed it. It clears fine now. I wasn't expecting it, but the car rides better now. Only put about 10 miles on so far to re-check the bolt tightness but so far I'm extremely happy.
