7-leaf spring from AFC; anyone inspected one?

[Gary B.]

Has anyone done a close inspection of the reproduction 7-leaf rear spring sold by America's Finest Corvettes, including a measurement of the free arch and a close-up view of the end treatment on leaves 2-7? Some of us are wondering how good a job AFC did in matching the original GM design. This will also give us an idea how good a job they're likely to do on the 9-leaf spring they claim to have in the works.

Thanks,

Gary

Gary, I can't tell you how correct the spring looks. I can tell you that what they say about the ride height is true. It's right on the money as far as ride height. I've seen so many over the years that look jacked up. I have an original F41 car, it does ride very stiff. I don't remember driving anyone elses F41 so I can't compare.

7-leaf spring from AFC; anyone purchased one?

OK, I'll ask a simpler question. Has anyone purchase the reproduction 7-leaf spring from America's Finest Corvettes? Or do you know of anyone who has purchased one?
