.....besides hotchkis and global west that you guys recommend that make a good lowering leaf spring? They have to be multi leaf. I was thinking of upgrading the rears brakes to disc, but after looking under the back of the car tonight I can clearly see that the leafs are the next place for investment. they look like they're falling apart!!! I've already got the hotchkis/bilstein shocks to go in.

If you already have the hotchkis/bilstein shocks that are tuned for their leaf spring compression rates? why wouldn't you use their Leafs?

that most likely is the way I'm going, I'm just curious, I like browsing.

We're happy to see you are considering our leaf springs. They'd be a perfect match for your shocks.

We've been track testing numerous cars with our suspensions and we are seeing great numbers and happy drivers, all in cars that are still comfortable street rides.
