Fast Advice please!!!
I was told that my rear spring on my 79 Vette should probably be replaced. I don't know much about the composite springs but have heard they are the way to go. Does anybody know where I can get one quick and of high quality? My car is in the shop as we speak so time is of the essence. Thanks

I don't know about you but when someone says "you need a new...(fill in the blank) I investigate. Is your riding normal. What is it that made the mech tell you that..etc. I also understand the while I'm at it I might as well fix it stuff, but be certain you need it before shelling out the bucks...my .02

That is also a dual mount spring for an 80-82 car.

The two most popular brands of composite springs are VBP and TRW. VBP makes their own spring and the TRW is made by Muskegan Brake.
The VBP is a popular brand on this site. Some say the TRW sits too high. Many forum members also recommend replacing the shocks as well to match the composite spring.
