Leaf springs on rear

Post by crazycat » 16 Jun 2010 10:31 pm

Hi there, has anyone ever tried fitting leaf springs of another car on a 300?

The ones on my 360 are extremely soft and noisy and i can't find any new ones, not even used ones (which i think won't solve the problem in the long run) and i think it would be nice to have some stiffer springs, maybe from a small off-roader on it.

the soft springs kinda kill the handling i'd like it to be a bit more responsive

Well even if so, depending how desperate he is, it seems they appear to ship abroad as (Going by their site) they've recently exported Rolls Royce springs over to Australia
