New OEM-style Suspension Springs
Does anyone have any experience with the Eaton Company in Detroit for springs? Or any other company?
I am looking to replace the front spring on my '37 coupe. Thanks |

Re: New OEM-style Suspension Springs
I've heard Eaton is an excellent company with an excellent product. Also. check out Posie. Be sure the springs is the same width as your OEM spring, Also, buy new shackles.

Re: New OEM-style Suspension Springs
I have always had them made local. Normally a 1 or 2 day deal and no shipping.

Re: New OEM-style Suspension Springs
Eaton Detroit Spring is dedicated to making springs to OE specs. For example, many early Mustang parts houses show 1 leaf spring part number for 65-67, but Eaton has all the variables for coupe, conv, fastback, GT, non GT, v8, 6 cyl, etc.

Re: New OEM-style Suspension Springs
i would imagine a 32-34 rear spring would be very expensive to have made due to the double curve. i'll bet they could hardly figure out how to do it !
