If you do front and rear, and then you'll want some decent shocks like Bilstein sports for $300...and now you're in coil over territory...I'm just sayin.

Front Leaf Spring
OK, Oil change today and I saw that I have got a crack in my front leaf spring. Got a couple of questions. Note: my Z is a daily driver.
1) Replacement options...OEM or any aftermarket.
2) Anyone know who actually made the spring to start with or who makes them now? I am sure GM out-sourced that.
3) Can't seem to find anthing but Z51 Springs online...what gives.
Thanks for the help!
