Title: New springs for 1979 GLS Avenger
Post by: Brahmmie on October 29, 2020, 12:09:55 PM
Hey guys just wondering what you have done for rear and front springs. I'm looking to buy new instead of cutting. Is there a particular type of spring that comes close been looking at getting some king springs and the escort ones look close. Just wondering what the easiest way to go will be

Cheers cheers

Escort has leaf springs at the rear. So they won't help.

In my wagon I run BMW 318i springs in the front, but they are a bit wide for the mounts.

In my sedan I use either King or Cobra springs. I think I just rung them up with the measurements and then either supplied something custom, or found one close enough, I can't remember exactly because I brought the springs for my old race car 20 years ago and reused them in my sedan when I restored that 10 years ago
