have my 1970 Dart Swinger in the shop for front end work and was curious about the rear springs. so upon inspection they are shot......thought the car was saggy in the rear.... shop telling me now that they cant find any. Does anyone have a recommendation for rear springs? not trying to track the car or anything special just a few days a week or weekend driver really. thanks in advance for the help guys...
 
espo was 3 months out, still not a bad thing just looking sooner if possible will be checking with General now.
 
They were a. It droopy from the factory, might want to consider adding an inch or three if going for new springs

They can't find ANY? Shop is now suspect... sound lazy.
In addition to the already mentioned Espo and General, there is:

Alternatively, find a local HD truck service or spring service to re-arch or rebuild your current springs.
Also can hit up Ebay...

Some spring manufacturers offer stock ride height, 1" above stock height or 3" above stock height etc..

I used ESPO springs and things, the lady there knows her stuff.
 
Agree with espo. They did mine and the ride height is just what I wanted. She was very knowledgeable.
