The Eaton folks are great to deal with but they request that club members don't call in orders. Originally George Riehl handled the orders. I've inherited the job.
Here's the spring summary: Eaton Springs $479 average less 22% plus the shipping cost . This is roughly 372.56 net per pair average. This is their wholesale price. Shipping from Detroit runs $80-100 to mid west locations and $120 coastal. Springs include front metal clad bushings. Unless specified differently when ordered the number of springs, rate and ride height will always match the factory specs. There are other wear parts that may be needed when the springs are replaced. It is best to replace these when the springs are off. Check your car before ordering. Some of these parts are getting hard to find.
Other members may know the details, but I've seen at least one factory service manual state that to maintain proper tightening specs the U-bolts are one-time use only.
Eaton extras showing discounted prices: Rubber bushing kit $2.30 each X 8 bushings needed. Shackle kit $40. This includes both shackles and the 8 rubber bushings noted above. Complete install kit $58.29 Includes new U bolts plus the shackles and bushings noted above.
Send your credit card # by email or phone and I'll place the order with Eaton. All cards numbers kept confidential. Orders usually ship in 5-10 days. Eaton will send an email confirming the shipping date.

I believe that the Club does not actually sell leaf springs.
If you order from the following and say that you are with the Chrysler 300 Club they will give you a Club Discount.
