1968 Camaro Leaf Spring Help Needed

[camrat68]

Back when I still had leaf-springs in my 68, Eaton-Detroit Spring could make you just about anything you wanted for a decent price.

I recently put together my 69 Z28 [all original car] with a 2" drop leafspring from Detroit Eaton Spring. I also used our 2" "tall" dropped spindle in front with a 1" taller coilspring, our HQ adjustable shocks, larger swaybar, and built a set of delrin bushings for the control arms. I have to say the car drives like a million bucks. It has a set of 15x8 magnesium Minilite wheels with some OLD Goodyear white letter radial tires...It does not have the ultimate cornering ability of our 48 Hour Camaro, but with the high winding 302 and 4 speed...it sure is a smile machine! The stance, handling and ride quality are perfect for a cruiser. Almost makes me want to put together a package like this...

Thanks guys, I'll have to give EATON a call. Do any of you recall what the spring rate and true arch was for the springs you used/have used? If not I'll have determine the spring load in the rear so I can see how much the spring will settle to obtain the desired ride height.
