Re: [Chrysler300] 62 sports springs

All,

You may want to bring the 300 to a good spring shop for their opinion.

I had one extra small leaf added to my '63 300 Conv., from 6 to 7 leaves.
This made it like the 300J, as I understand it.

They also replaced the rear spring interliner "pads" that will add some 
height and reduce noise.
The ride is much stiffer and is better for cornering.  I think I paid $250 
for the whole thing, including the new hardware.

After the job was done, I noticed that one side of the car was higher.
He adjusted the torsion bar and the problem went away.
