    Anyone know of a shop here in San Diego that can reverse my spring eyes on my Model A front spring?

    Thanks,
    Josh.

    I believe it's National Spring in National City... had a neighbor that swore by them for the work they did on his rally cars.

    PS...still can't get into the storage container for the De-Soto junk, the friends step-mom's in the hospital and the only contact here in CA (the father) is a little pre-occupied at the moment.

    Yeah, I called National Spring.

    They quoted me $225 to have my eyes reversed. That just seems like a huge ammount... considering I can buy a new whole front spring set, with reversed eyes, for $150.

    I called Reliable in National City - but did not get an answer today. They said Jeff would call me back, but he probably got tied up.

    So, we will see tomorrow.

    I'd like to have the eyes reversed. It's supposed to give about another 2 inch drop in the front. And, if I can do that with the rear too, it will help my highboy have more lowness.

    If you are up in Orange County during the week, DEAVER Spring in Santa Ana (right off 1st and the 5 ) reverse eyed and de-arched both my rear leaves on the chevy for $180.00.

    That was just last year.

    Their number is: (714) 542-3703

    from ma

    call up a bunch of the companies that sell the springs until you find one that will sell you just the main leaf. that's all you need. should be ALOT cheaper
