If the one you have now is workable and they offer a new bar, I may be interested in getting your current one off you. Especially since your also in Canada so shipping wouldnt be as scary lol.
Yeah well don't hole your breath! BUT if miracles happen, I'll keep you in mind. I'm pretty sure more will be posted on this later.
I'll chime in here too. I think you're right and yet another example of "one-size-fits-all". It's that "well it should fit" approach that screws us way too many times, costing us time and money, but hey, they made a sale so who cares.
That’s cool Geoff, glad there’s a distributor there. I am thinking about doing the same. Will be waiting to hear how you like them. Do the Boss springs have a heavier spring rate? I’m sure they probably do and I bet they fit like a glove. Hope it works out good for you.
Hi John, Yes the Boss 351 springs are rated at 152.5 lbs compared to 138 stock on the Mach 1 and 429. I will for sure update when I get them in a couple of weeks. I also ordered new U bolts. The leaf spring material thickness I'm told is thicker at 5/16" compared to1/4" stock.
Hemikiller and jpaz, I guess I'll find out. I'm told the free arc is the same as the 138 lbs springs. Eaton do make 1" longer shackles which I will buy if the ride height is a bit lower than I like, so there is an option. As for a harder ride, the GTA's I have on now are supposed to be 175 lb s/r and that being the case, the Boss springs will be a little softer. With the heavy anti-sway bar and the KYB's (which might get changed next year) I don't find the ride horrible at all. In fact I prefer a stiffer, better handling car to one that feels like it's floating around.
That's great news John. Hopefully they will be producing them and updating their list to reflect 71-73's only.
