    Done some searching. Looking for an aftermarket Model T spring, to use on my 30 Coupe build. I have used an original before, that gave the perfect drop. I can not find an original this time around, plus they always are pitted and recommend rebuild.

    I know Speedway has a Medium and High Arch spring. I called their Tech department, They say the Medium is recommended for their T buckets, not enough for a A Coupe. I know I could spend $400 plus from a Model T site.

    Has anyone used the Speedway High Arch Spring? Looks pretty simular to a T spring. but does look pretty high up.

    Sent you a pm, those speedway springs are junk. Read the reviews on their page
     
  3. Call Jim or Jason out at Hot Rod Garage in Sand Springs,,They may have a spring that you need.

    We make a 26/27 T-Spring made to Model A width 2.25". Its a bolt in part that will give you 3" to 4" of drop without making any modifications or the use of shims or spacers. The second picture is a comparison with a stock model a spring. They are available on our website nespeedshop.com
