Default Re: need help in day2 restoration

When a leaf spring is re-arched, it makes the center to center measurement of the eyes closer together. That makes it a lot harder to get them re-installed in the car. I had the ones in my Nova re-arched by a local spring shop. I was not happy with the results. The owner of the spring shop said the springs have a "memory" and would try to go back to their original position. I then had Eaton make me a set with a 2" lift. Much better than the re-arched ones.
