Does anybody know from whom, (besides Landrum Spring Co.) to get custom coil springs made? I am looking to drop my 1973 Dodge B100 van 2" in the front and nobody I have contacted yet (about 20 vendors) has drop spindles or springs for this vehicle. I was thinking of cutting or heating my stock springs, but have heard too many horror stories on car forum about these things.
Landrum Spring actually does this, but they really pissed me off. I email in an order and they say they can fill it. So I say OK and as soon as I get an invoice for the work, I will provide them with my credit card # and away we go. Well, four weeks and 15 phone calls later, I still didn't even have the invoice (and they also have a 6 week lead time) so finally I gave them a deadline and they didn't meet it so I won't order from them. Anyone else do custom springs (willing to pay good money for a good quality set, their quoted price for a pair was "approximately $450")???

steiner,
Why waste your money on custom springs?? I cut a coil or so out of a set for a D100 2wd ram 1983 vintage. It had a big block in it. drove it year round on the crappy roads of NW PA & didn't have problem one. You could try clamping a couple coils on a new set of stock springs. Just a thought V10 [This message has been edited by V10nacuda (edited October 17, 2000).] |

I know what you mean about those crappy roads. I was born and raised in Allentown, PA. Took my wife, who is a native of California there and the first thing she said was "doesn't anybody ever fix the roads around here?" Apparently not...
Thanks for the advice. The clamping idea is something I didn't really think of. |
