I.ve had a couple of sets of NEW front springs on my 71 B, and they all rode
too low. My mechanic's supplier is shipping him junk. Does anyone know of a
source of good springs? Perhaps there is only one manufacturer supplying
everybody with junk. Seems to me I saw some kind of link you could bolt to
your spring that kept one turn of the coil spring spread apart. This would
keep a weak spring from riding too low. Anyone heard of this?
