EK suspension

Post by EKjimmy »

I realise i have already had a reply from Blacky advising me to get my springs reconditioned, but with all respect mate i dont think it's possible for me to go down that road with my springs.
Three questions:
1. Other than specialists who make springs to order (made to order=$$$) does anyone know where to get leaf springs for EK's and any other old holdens for that matter? I need either ones in good condition, or new.

2. Does anyone know if EJ, EH, HD, or HR rear leafs can be fitted to an EK sedan without modifications of mounting points.

3. Failing that, are there any other springs from other cars eg. something like a light van or similar that just happen to be the right lenght and width for the job?

Any Info appreciated as always. Cheers Jimmy

SPRINGS

mate,
take blackys advise. take your car into a spring place and they can give you there professional opinion and which paths to take, and will probably have the same sources as repco. they can add leafs, lower or heighten your ride to your desired height. and cheaper than buying a name....
