Title: 69 Z/28 Four Leaf Springs, is there an exact reproduction
Post by: 69RALLYSPORTZ28 on August 15, 2020, 04:38:59 PM

For a 69 Z/28, has anyone found a reproduction that are an exact match for factory originals four leaf rear springs?

There are none.  Camaro Specialties had some made years ago that were the closest but I am not sure if he still has any.

Looks like D&R Classic's are very close.

Beat me to it! I did a side-by-side comparison of the D&R Classic reproduction leafs on my build thread (starting at Post #447) and they are quite close to the originals except for the retaining bolt which, if it matters, can be transferred to the new springs as I did.
