RE: Leaf springs?

[Brian Schlump <jsbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also bought my set of springs from St. Louis Spring Co.   When I got 
my Belvedere the rear springs were weak, and the previous owner had 
installed air shocks, which he had to run fully extended for tire 
clearance.  I bought rear springs with 6 leaves and had them built with 
2" of extra arch.   Now the car sets the same way as it did with fully 
extended air shocks, but it rides much better with the extra length 
shocks I got from Mancini Racing...Brian
