You can find a good spring shop that can fix you up or you can buy new steel springs from Eaton or composite leaf springs from Flex-A-Form. They each have Studebaker specs in the databases and can make a set in no time. I had Flex-A-Form make me a set of composite springs for my Avanti. They weigh in about eight pounds apiece compared to nearly fifty pounds each for steel and the cost was only a few dollars different.

If you're not concerned about keeping the stock leaf look, I've got an extra set of new composite leaf springs for a '53-56 which should get the rear ride height up where you want it. PM me if you're interested.

thnx, jack vines

Jack, you've got mail. and if I don't end up getting those, does anyone mind telling me what the rate is and how much they paid for their composite springs? I'm intrigued by the concept (and if there's one thing a typical live-axle car needs, it's less unsprung weight...)
