RE: Leaf springs?

[george smith <bt6t4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I took my old springs to a local shop yrs. ago and
told them what I had and what I wanted.My Polara sits
app. 1"-2" higher in the rear. Rides very nice. To
me,after not driving a car like ours on a daily basis
for many yrs.,we compare them to what we drive now.
I'm very happy with my local guy.Also,if you have a
problem,the dealer isn't a 1000 miles away.
