Default FS: Original 1977 FE7 Gymkhana front and rear springs (refurbed)

I have decided to go with a different setup and as such am selling my stock gymkhana springs. Fronts have been cleaned and painted, rear has been disassembled, cleaned, repainted, and rebuilt with new liners.

$150 for all plus shipping.

before I commit to buy do you have any pictures with this spring in your car? I have a 8 leaf spring like that in mine it the tail sits really high. Also could you get me a measurement of the free arch of this spring.(straight edge across the eyes and measure to the top of the spring)

Measurement from the bottom of the arch to the top of the spring is roughly 9.75".

I think I will pass at this time. The spring I have has the same arch to I now and I want to ensure I don't wind up with the same problem as I now do. The rear on mine is also a seven leaves spring.

The fronts and rear are factory original FE7 which I believe are 550 and 315 respectively.

Is that measurement from the ground up to the top of the arc? Or from the center eye hole line to the arc?

Thanks!

Hi Nick, from the top of the spring to the parallel line running across the ends at the bottom of the arc.
