Leaf Springs

["Charlie Valentine" <cross.ram@xxxx>]

Has anyone had any experience with re-arching leaf springs? I have a spare
set for my 62 and there is a spring business about 20 miles away. They will
re-arch the set for $50 to 60.00. Some questions that I have are:
1. Are they good as new?
2. Do they last or do they unspring in a short time?

There is a big price difference between re-arching and a brand new set but
if the re-arched will not last for a reasonable length of time all of the
labor will be for nothing. I will install them but do not want to do it
again in a year or two. I really do not want to ever do it again. I am
leaning on trying the re-arched springs. If nothing else to see what happens
with them. Kind of like a science experiment. This way if no one has any
experience with re-arching springs I will be able to give some feedback in
the future.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance to all who respond.
