IML: rear springs question

["John J. Oleksik" <oleksijj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have a 94 imperial which i plan to enhance but at this
point i need to do some field surgery.  over a period of a
few weeks i noticed the car was turning into a low rider.
my mechanic and i looked at it and what seems to have
happened is the metal corners that form the spring pocket
for the coil springs, on both sides no less, had rusted and
blown through. what we are looking at doing is to jack up
the car and the springs seperately and weld steel plate to
reform the pockets. any suggestions to alternative
treatment would be appreciated.  he has a MIG welder and
some 10,000 psi material.
