Ordered new rear springs for our 59 Sweep from Springs & Things (Espo) .Made in U.S.A; imagine that! $330 + shipping (new U bolts too) I'll let you know how it sits after installation.

$330 for a set of springs plus the U-Bolts are a steal..... yeah like neil said, post some pics, we love pics.

I got both fronts and rears for my vehicle. Love the way it rides now. Much much better. ~550 for both sets including all the hardware needed.

Steve, with those 7 (full?) leafs, your car will be very stiff in the rear end.

If it's too harsh, you can try removing the shortest leaf(s), and see how it rides, then.
