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.

I bought new leaf springs on sale last year at TRF for $49.95 a copy.
(They're still in the box!) I'm also told re-arching is not good.
