Location: Muskego, WI | Where can I get a good, new pair? I installed some new Eaton springs and the front end dropped 3 inches lower than stock, so the search continues. My original springs sag significantly to the driver's side. Bernbaum has coils for $200/pair, anybody buy from him? Any other supplier suggestions?
Thanks. |

Location: Michigan | oh one more thing.. mine sagged too. What it turned out to be was the rear air shocks. They don't fail like regular shocks. I changed two sets of leaf springs before I figured this out... I would save you that pain. |

I called Coil Spring Specialties, they were very knowledgeable and affordable, thanks for the tip.

I'm trying to work with Eaton to get whatever I can, a refund or new springs, but they are don't seem too concerned with righting their wrong... |

This seems like it would only mask the problem, is this reliable long term? Do you have these in your '55? |

Location: Michigan | Yes I have them on my 55. The problem was the shocks for me. I changed the springs twice and it made NO difference. Then I did the shocks.. problem gone. |

Location: Muskego, WI | Detroit Eaton is going to issue me a refund for the springs, so I'm happy that they are at least doing the right thing. |
