    Any info on Tri City springs? Still available? Besides Calvert any reputable custom race leaf Co's out there?? Tired of stock Mexican made garbage. Not the Mexicans just their springs!

    Thanks
     
  2. What is the application?

    Look up Landrum spring.com.
    Simply the best leaf spring made, for racing IMO

    I am building a Super Stock replica and do not want to use the usual offshore spring that are available. I guess Tri City is no more?
     
  5. I have several pair of Landrum Chrysler springs. Were made for oval track, but I sure would work on a moderate horsepowered drag car.

    I have used Landrum leafs on my IMCA mod, and they were great. but Southwest Speed Black Magic springs were awesome, and made in the USA.

    I just sent an email to landrum.. They used to be made in Atlanta by Jack landrum ( if my memory is working..)
    Now the co. shows to be an Indiana address..I think they were sold to a big spring mfg...
    Lets see what they say..I asked straight out where they are made !

    I went with AFCO they say they are made by themselves or in Ohio? They were very helpful. Landrum phone just rings so not sure what is going on there. Eaton were helpful but didn't get they were understanding the drag deal.


    I though there would be a lot more spring Co's??? I have been told most have closed up do to offshore mfg?
