72 springs and shocks

[Carl E.]

Planning on changing my rear leaf spring on my 72/ 350/ no LT1 coupe. Any suggestions on a good reliable spring to get and where to get it? Also any suggestions on a good set of shocks. Any info will help. Thanks, Carl

Check the archives. There's probably more on this subject than just about any other subject.

Why not rebuild the OE spring? Unless it's severly corroded, rebuilding the original is the best choice - also the least expensive.

Carl, As Duke says rebuilding the original is the way to go, sometimes a new set of liners and some new cushions help bring the cars rear ride up to were it should be, as far as shocks go, For a car that driven more that it sits, Blistin shocks are great and improve the quality of the ride.
