Ride height

[Karl K.]

Has anyone had any experience with springs made by Americas
Fnest Corvettes that advertise in the Drivline? I have a 65 coupe
that sits about 2 inches high in the rear,
I need to lower it to get it thru the P.V
Any help appreciated,
Karl

Re: Ride height

Leaf springs can be reshaped to lower the rear. Call some spring shops in your area. I had my HD rear spring re-arched to get the rear down. If you choose to but a new one, consider Eaton Springs in Detroit.

Karl -

AFC only reproduces the 7-leaf HD F-41 rear spring; they supposedly are working on the 9-leaf version, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

John,

If I'm remembering things correctly AFC has been working on a repro 9-leaf spring for around two years now. It's starting to sound like "vapor-ware", i.e., new software that is just about to be released, but sometimes never materializes.
