We have them in stock. There is many different styles, I would recommend the Light duty standard springs (these will probably sit higher than it is now, due to sagging) or the Mid Eyes, which are 1" lower than stock, which is probably similar to where it is now.

I just today fitted new rear leaf springs today to my 65 fastback .
hi performance from Scott Drake. Thicker leafs with an extra leaf as well.
Price was cheaper than advertised price at the US parts dealers.
I had prices to reset and put the extra leaf in that were a lot more expensive.

I second BLKPNY. Just get a set of light or medium duty std springs. You'll probably have to replace bushes too. Check your shackles and U bolts before you order them, in case you need to replace any of them too. Maybe new shocks too.

be sure to measure the new scott drake springs against the originals. There was a large batch that had the locating pin slightly out of position, resulting in the Diff being located back slightly.

All the new stock is OK, only old stock.

No, same part numbers, but the measurements are correct. I checked ours upon arrival, a while ago.

I was cautious after Donauto's, and others had problems.
