Dan - I picked up a set of springs (and shackles) from Espo Springs'n'Things a
couple years back, and was real happy with them. Reasonably priced, and fit
fine. If you have to buy a new set, I'd recommend them. They are at Carlisle, I
ordered mine ahead and picked them up at the meet, saving the shipping costs.
Good luck - Mark.
