Default Looking for AMX Drop springs

Like it says looking for lowering springs for a 1968 AMX. Need fronts and rears.

Someone put joe dirt six leaf springs on the back. I want to go about twi inches lower then stock (4 inches lower then now?) and would hate to buy stock springs and use blocks if I can get a nice set of mid or reverse eye spring like they have for mustangs.

I Want to make this...


Sit like this...

This should be fairly simple as leaf springs can be custom made pretty easily. Some place like Calvert Racing or www.eatonsprings.com can take the dimensions of your existing springs and desired drop and spring rate and make you a custom set from scratch.

Leaf springs have been in use for hundreds of years and are still widely used so finding someone who remakes them or services them shouldn't be a tough order. Maybe even in your local area.

If those don't work, see what all the F-Body guys are using and contact those companies or even consider adapting F-Body parts since aftermarket stuff for them is a little easier to source than AMC stuff but i really think you'll be surprised how easy you find someone willing to make a custom set.
