Title: What coil springs and leaf springs can I buy to keep as close to stock as possbl
Post by: Evenprime on July 05, 2024, 11:31:36 AM
I've seen many posts with many different options but I know things change over the years and many options are no longer available.

I'd like to replace both the front springs and the rear leaf springs on my eagle and I'm looking at what is available to maintain as stock height as possible.
If anything, a small 1" lift is fine but definitely not lower than stock.

I suckered MIPS into lending me his spring compressor tool specifically for these cars and I've ordered all parts for the full rebuild with the exception of the tie-rods (haven't found them yet - fingers crossed) and still awaiting the lower ball joints from another friend on this site.

As far as I recall, the Javelin springs are the closest. Does anyone have any part numbers specifically, or website links.

Thanks a bunch.

Here are a couple suppliers.  I've purchased from Springs n Things and Stengel Bros, both provided good service.  Eaton is supposed to be the best and will manufacture them with any specs you want (within reason). Good luck!

Thank you for the info.

I reached out to Eaton Springs.

They do not have springs for the front. They said they have over 2,000 springs, but none for the Eagle.

Rear Leaf Springs - I was quoted $800.00US for the pair and shipping would be $225.00US = $1,025US = $1,435CAD (Canadian) and that doesnt include Duties which I suspect would be a another 1-2 hundred. :censored: .... Not sure that includes the shackles either.

Im going to reach out to the other two and see how that goes.
