Re: {Chrysler 300} Eaton springs for 300B

I had my 57 Imperial springs re-arcehed by a shop that does truck springs. He had a heavy duty “cold roll” machine. I thought springs should he hot rolled, I was wrong. He had a book that listed “free height” for my springs. He told me he increased free height by 1/2” for old used springs. My car has a good stance.

I installed Eaton springs on a H coup and on a 62 Sport conv with very pleasing results. Leveled out the rear with limited height increase - can’t remember how much, but both appeared like factory. Didn’t try re-arching - seemed like a trial and error process with unknown life due to the heating process.

The ones I put on my G convertible settled right into a perfect ride height.

My second-hand observation is that installation of new springs tends to raise the rear end a couple of inches above proper spec—especially the 7-leaf HD suspension springs. I don’t know to predict, prevent or fix this but I would go on record before the purchase that if the car ends up raked, replacement/re-arching would be demanded. Yes, the rear end might settle over time and loaded but the cars I’ve seen seem to stay way too high, too long. Caveat emptor.

Asking for a friend with a 300B who is interested in replacing his springs. Have any of you used eaten to replace the springs on your 300B? And if so are you happy? I have their Springs on my f and I'm very happy but he wanted me to ask and make sure before he proceeds.
