Rear leaf spring

[Norwegianmopar]

I need a new leaf spring since the one on the car has started to crack.

What type and from where do you recommend me buying?

Any other upgrades I should do at the same time?

Thanks guys.

I'd check with Mirrock for a used one.

I agree.

GM tested these springs for millions of cycles. I think they wore the machine out twice, the spring was fine.

Hyperco probably made the originals, have had one on the back for many years. I believe they are available through Vette Brakes. You will have to paint it black.

I found a pair of originals, both front and rear, so it worked out in the end.

Sadly, Vette Brakes and Products is no more.

Is this the correct replacement for our 94 Corvette ZR-1? I believe it's supposed to have the softer spring, not the Z51?

I wouldn't think you'd have an issue sourcing an appropriate spring much closer to you.

I wouldn't think you'd have an issue sourcing an appropriate spring much closer to you.I have tried finding a used one over here and buying thru a vendor is too expensive. I am buying a bunch of stuff to send over in a container, only paying a few hundred bucks in shipping for it.

Your 'container' will be shipped from where? I've shipped many items to various locations using a shipping service here and I only paid the fee to the city where it shipped from.

It's a norwegian company that ships over cars and parts several times a year. All my stuff is in Michigan at my buddy's shop there. When he has bought everything for me he will send it down to FL.
