I had a couple of cooks on their way to the Olive Garden stop me at a light and ask if my Econoline was a Concept Vehicle. Duane in Tennessee
That has long torsion bars like a Road Runner or Charger. Volare's had cross torsion bars. I don't know what the Cordoba had for torsion bars. It...
I'd give these guys a shout. They do quick work and can build the springs you need. Reasonably priced too. http://www.saintlouisspring.com/...
