1993 W-body

[Mattstrike]

I'm not even done with the van yet, but who cares.

Acquired a 1993 Regal with the piece of shit rear carbon fiber transverse leaf spring deal. Of course, that leaf spring is broken, completely bottomed out, and discontinued. I'm not finding anything aftermarket to replace it, haven't stumbled on any forum information on replacements either yet. Starting to look like a lost cause at this point. Can the rear handle coilovers or something?

Huh. I didn't know that the early W-bodies used that kind of suspension. Is that similar to the Reatta and Allante?

iirc yes, those were essentially c body fronts with W body rears for gm to create the reatta/allante/toronado trofeo platform

With the help of Wbody.com I managed to find that Birchmount Auto Spring can still make replacement stock springs, so that's the route I'll end up going for this. As old as these are I just don't trust a used spring to last.

Coilovers are doable, but they get expensive fast. I might go that route on my Trofeo when the time comes, but I don't want to lose the load leveling on that one...
