Does anyone have any experience with the Eaton Company in Detroit for springs? Or any other company?
I am looking to replace the front spring on my '37 coupe.
Thanks

I've heard Eaton is an excellent company with an excellent product. Also. check out Posie. Be sure the springs is the same width as your OEM spring, Also, buy new shackles.

I have always had them made local. Normally a 1 or 2 day deal and no shipping.

Eaton Detroit Spring is dedicated to making springs to OE specs. For example, many early Mustang parts houses show 1 leaf spring part number for 65-67, but Eaton has all the variables for coupe, conv, fastback, GT, non GT, v8, 6 cyl, etc.

I've bought two sets of springs from Eaton. Make sure you order over the telephone, because some applications need additional hardware replaced as well. They can let you know up front.

Great quality product. They take a little time, but worth it.

Send a PM to kandrews70 to see if she still has a NOS front spring.

As a small tid but I have a Eaton 33/34 rear spring. It was very expensive but it is spot on!

cas3 · 02-20-2019, 10:19 PM

i would imagine a 32-34 rear spring would be very expensive to have made due to the double curve. i'll bet they could hardly figure out how to do it !
