" From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) " " " From: Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx> " " " " I have Espo springs on my 68 American and they're okay I guess but the " " clamps that hold the leaves together rusted off after a few years. The " " clamps are easy enough to get from a spring shop but I was pretty annoyed " " that it happened. I can't compare them to a more expensive set or even " " factory springs since the springs were so bad on my car that the rear axle " " dented the exhaust. " " i have a similar experience, espo hd rears on my '68 american " replacing stock that were so sagged the car had hi-lift shackles just " to level it. i should add - haven't checked the leaf clamps in a long time, but after more than a few years and tens of thousands of miles i have no complaints. i've only got a 199 under the hood though. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
