Re: Leaf Springs

[Bill M <y1topbanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll vouch for ESPO. Bought springs for 3 cars from them and have been
very happy...65 Coronet 500 'vert, 73 Dart Sport, & 80 Cordoba LS

Great prices and quality products. Very nice to deal with.

Putting new steel springs will be in effect the same thing as "modern performance" anyway. If you talk to  St Louis Spring or ESPO you can ask them if the 1964 Chrysler 300K used a heavier-duty leaf spring. If so, you could consider that. Also you can decide if you want the rear of the car to sit slightly higher than stock. 1" taller is often used.
