Hi Mick...I agree with John Lazenby. I purchased springs through Jim Krausman, he ordered them immediately and I received the springs within two weeks. I was doing a resto/mod of a '64 Newport convertible and both leaf springs had to be repaired or replaced. I checked with two spring companies in the San Diego area and starting price to repair mine was $600 w/o replacement hardware or tax. Eaton's price with all required hardware and shipping was $585. The car sits level and rides great. I'm very happy with them. 300 regards...George ---- "John Lazenby french_fryguy@xxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The club's source for springs is Eaton who originally made them.
