front spring
 

looks like i could use a new spring. the one i have is rusty, has a broken leaf, and the 4 or 5 longest leaves have worn into the leaf below. has anybody used a spring from Mike's Affordable or Snyder's? How did it work?
thanks,
Dick

I recently installed a new front spring from Travis M. Cook, www.a-springs.com, and couldn't be happier with the experience and the result. It completely solved a persistent oversteer condition in my cabriolet that had plagued me for years, as well as providing me with an improvement in ride quality. His product is excellent, as is his customer service.

When we put a new spring on the front of our 29 Sport Coupe it made a big difference.

My only recommendation is to spend a little extra and get a USA made spring.

While you have the front end down. Check the other ware points. Enjoy.

I also used A Springs. You get brass shakel bushings with the spring as well.

Another vote for http://a-springs.com/

I bought front and rear springs from him for my 31' Town Sedan.

Love the ride.

I coated both sides of the disassembled springs with two coats of Slip-Plate. Then once assembled put a coat of satin black Rustoleum over the entire thing.

Travis Cook at A-Springs is the only way to go. Quality spring and great customer service.
