I need 'em too.  They're something like $60-$70 per side in the major
catalogs.  I'm told that re-arching existing springs is not much
cheaper, and not as reliable.

Question:  Why hasn't anybody developed a trailing arm/coil spring
conversion?  Is there perhaps nowhere to put the upper spring perch?  I
haven't peered up under there recently...

Actually, I don't even know for sure whether or not this would be
beneficial.
