Dan O Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I see Springs & Things selling coil spring replacements for my 1949 76S. The originals are sagging a bit and are mushy I would think. Anyone have recommendations for sourcing good springs from the maker and not a reseller? I would not mind lowering it a couple of inches. I know many here think that is heresy but 49's look so much cooler a bit closer to the ground. Any experience doing that thru shorter springs alone?

avgwarhawk Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I used Springs and Things for my 54 and 60. Priced well. Shipped promptly. Worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still on the lookout for a drivers side rear for a reasonable price. She still lists a bit and my mechanic friend advised new springs since everything else has been attended to. She's a high mileage car as well as old and seen rough use as a ranch car. The old owner said it was nicer than a jeep, so why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - they gave me a decent quote I think - $110 for rear pair and $140 a pair front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
