Who sells the best front and rear spring shackle kit? I'd like them to look original and be quality. No screw in zerk.
For awhile there was a reproduction version that would break. I'd like to avoid that version.
Thanks, Neil

The ones that look original are of poor quality. I do not know of a quality made set that looks original. This was discussed a while back. Steve from Berts seemed to confirm this. In my hunt for NOS and NORS parts I have been fortunate to find and rat hole some good quality NORS sets that look close to original for the fronts, but have struck out finding rears. Will be using the fronts on the delivery and on Dad's coupe. With another set back for spare. Good Luck. Rod

I used the USA-made ones in my truck. It's never going to be a fine-point car, and I wanted the best available.

Neil. This is from a few months ago. Read post #11 from Steve at Berts. I think he covers it nicely.
