Re: suspension springs
Posie makes springs. Not pure stock for show; better, Can also get reversed eye for lowering.

Re: suspension springs
Unsure of the article. Not too many places make springs here in the US the old-fashioned way. Betts and Eaton are the biggest ones I know. There are a bunch of small places in various regions of the US. (under 20 employee type of manufacturing)

Re: suspension springs
Not sure exactly what your looking for, but any local spring shop can make a spring. I get all of my main leaves made and use original upper leaves. Last spring I had made (2 years ago) was a revise eye main leaf and cost $20.

Re: suspension springs
They run very amusing advertising on the radio as well! It always ends with "if it's a spring, give us a ring!"

Re: suspension springs
Check Eaton Detroit Spring. They have Blue Prints for most springs.
