Trucks tow boats and trailers with leaf springs. IMO there is no excuse for one to snap under the weight of a 2900lb car especially under normal driving conditions. The fact that they had the nerve to suggest it was due to the weight of a 80lb stereo enclosure is disgusting. The replacement spring doesn't come packaged with a quarter panel sheet metal repair kit. So no, since I footed the bill for bod, paint, install, towing and such I'm holding onto the spring so I can set up a small booth at the next goodguys show with the results my steel engineer compiled. But on the bright side I've since procured a full Chassisworks frame and suspension so I'm now riding faulty free.
