Ok here is the deal. I want to put new leaf springs on my duster. It currently has air shocks that are aired up way to much. I want to run regular shocks and get the stance I want with the springs. I would like some pics of your cars with the ss springs and which ones you are running, so I can decide on which to buy. I have seen some cars with ss springs that sit way to high then others that sit about right.

do you want this for a track car? or is this just a street car?


if its a street car i say screw the SS springs. call espo and get a set of XHD springs from them that are +1" or +2" in height and be done with it.


these two darts have the espo +1" springs. they both only have a 14" wheels though.

this dart has the espo +2" springs which i will be removing soon because its too high for my liking.. 14" wheels also..

Here is the Dart when it had SS springs, I personally never cared for the way that it sat with them, but some guys like the Raked look, and the lean, that was the part that I really didn't like. It sat pretty low, because it had rear leaf spring sliders in the rear, but if your going to drag race it, I wouldn't reccomend them.

If your car sits too high with the SS springs,I have some new lowering blocks I can sell you.

thats what i used....

or use these,and stuff the eyelet bolt thru the upper hole.

"The lower eye bolt hole is in the stock location, the upper one is 1.5 inches higher (lowers the car by one inch)"

Here is mine 71 Dart

These are stock ones that I had re-arced and 2 added (8 leafs total)

Thats what i did with my 70 cuda, didn't get much lift but was VARY STIFF!:blob:

When i installed my SS spring i got the lift in the back. And most of the bump in the road went a way!!!

Traction never was an issue with a stock 318 and 2.76 cogs in the rear

Price was the determining factor for me , the local spring shop wanted 450 bucks to re arch and add a leaf to my current springs or 580 bucks to build me a pair to SS specs ,Some people just don't know their market eh LOL, so I called the dealership instead and ordered in a pair of 002-003 s for 294 bucks , they should be going in this week if the weather holds and I get the time to get to it .

Here's mine: Stock rear springs with one leaf spring add for stiffness, cheap shocks and a pinion snubber.
