I wish I could help you.

I bought a 7 leaf "Heavy duty" spring from Zip. It lowered my car 1/2". I am not happy with it. Good luck!

I got one from Eaton. It appears to have the "correct" construction: the ends have the curl and the bottom spring has the 45-degree cuts on the end by the spring bolt. Definately like the one I took off my car many moons ago (that had a broken leaf - second to the bottom - no wonder I had a "squat"), and definately NOT like other springs I've tried.

I'm happy with mine. It didn't cost too much, it arrived when expected, and the ride height of my car is fine.
