...today thanks to ESPO Springs 'n Things and the help of @71Polara383? Here are the links explaining my choice of springs -- I had planned on Eaton but ended up going with ESPO. PS: I think I see some rake that was not there before -- I know at least a couple folks who will be happy :thumbsup:

...enough to allow for some "fixing up" expenses? What about the front ride height? NAPA still has replacement front coil springs in their catalog, fwiw. Salvage yard, Espy, or Eaton. Maybe even rockauto? Take your pick. Or even some Firestone air assist springs to get it level again? CBODY67

...Brothers... ON and ON, you can see how tangled it all got. Business and families and other strange bedfellows. Even in the modern era - Bob Eaton from GM to Chrysler, Lee Iaccoca from Ford to Chrysler, Bob Lutz worked at all the big three, etc. there were executive intermixing. THEN, add...

I received them yesterday. They are bare metal, so I am going to get POR15 black. Agree with asymmetrical shackles.

...Find some sales brochures online which might give a better representation of the desired colors, rather than a paint website with small color chips to preuse, which might yield better results. Seems like many of those brochures can be found via the Detroit Eaton Spring catalog website? CBODY67

...· Test Drive: Drive quality vastly improved. Handling was sloppy and bouncy before. No longer the case. Car feels much tighter. Eaton Detroit ML725 Springs A+ (Made in Detroit USA A++). Install kit IKC1000: used 2 sets of bushings for the rear spring eyes. Saved second set of...

...nothing about rear ends (on cars, not women). As I go on the Dr. Diff website, what is the difference between the clutch-type SureGrip and the Eaton Tru-Trac differentials? Can I non-slip differential be converted to a non-slip by swapping parts in the same differential body? Or does the...

Found the correct 1 1/2" dia Shackle bushings at Eaton Spring in Detroit. Part Number HB830 5/8 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 Bushing $8.95 each Also note that the Axle Isolator Pads they sell MUR1001 are shorter than the original Imperial pad.....They will fit the spring mounting hardware, but they...

New Eaton rear springs eliminated my clearance issues. My Cooper experience has been excellent.

...the shipping, and it's supposed to take approximately 6 weeks to ship instead of 3 weeks in May. PS: Back when I ordered 6-leaf springs for Regina, I went for USPO over Eaton. Either company would have been fine, here's why I went with ESPO in the end. @carfreak6970 may find the links useful.

..."wanted back in", it seemed. So living in Vegas and being good friends with the stocholder, a plan was in the formulation stages. Bob Eaton got wind of this and crashed their "Donate to the cause" party being held in Vegas. And THAT proibably was the start of doing something to position...

Lutz and Eaton both had worked in Europe for many years and obviously had friends who were in Daimler, back then. As working associates and such. Lido's time at Ford (start to finish) was chronicled in his autobiography of the early 1980s. Quite interesting and a seldom-seen account of...

Eaton Detroit, ESPO, all get good reviews.

To me both Eaton and Espo would be just fine. Only: where do you find the correct (offset) ’65-’73 shackles? Eaton has some offset ones on their catalogue, but one would have to know the measurements to decide.

Eaton makes them off the original blueprints.... Others? Reverse engineered? :confused:

While I am sure Eaton has a good sealing system, for me, it would never look original enough to pass my efforts to keep things looking as they were when built.

Weatherhead is the brand name. Eaton bought them out in 2002. The new stuff has been cheapened up, doesn’t look like the part I need for the resto.

...Kirk Kerkorian (and his buddy former-Chairman Lee Iacocca) as Chrysler's largest, single stockholder. Then, my long-time theory is that Bob Eaton did not want Chairman Lee to be back in power, so he courted Daimler to merge with Chrysler in order to shut down that possibility. At a time...
