RE: Leaf Springs ESPO??

["dan whitehead" <freebird_58@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone on the list was running them on their car (either last year or the 
year before) that they raced.  There was a problem with the springs bending 
at the mounting eye under acceleration.

I have had them on my stock Javelin for 5 years now with no problem to the 
spring themselves.  I am pulling them apart to regrease the bushings, trying 
to find a squeek, while also rebuilding the front suspension.

Is anyone going on the power tour?

I need new leaf springs for my 12-second 401 powered Spirit. I was going to
buy Eaton's, which I would rate as top quality, but checked with Kennedy
American for comparison. His springs are half the price of Eaton, and
American made, although he doesn't know the manufacturer. They are not Espo,
which I want to avoid. Has anyone purchased these springs from Kennedy? How
do you like them?
