Hello all.  Wanted to throw this by the community for some input before making a final decision.

I'm putting going through my '55 Fairlane's suspension on my summer list.  That's going to include replacing the rear leaf springs.

So far the only two places I can find the rear leafs are at Kanter and this place I had never heard of before called the Suspension King.com.  Here's the link:http://thesuspensionking.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_22_99_386&products_id=997&osCsid=5vtkuio90dk0so3d2d06t87l80

Didn't see them at Mac's or Dennis-Carpenter.

I've never dealt with Kanter, but they seem to have a good reputation.  That having been said, their springs are 57% more expensive!!

I like to buy American where I can find the part, but neither Kanter nor the Suspension King say where their springs are made.

So, has anyone dealt with the Suspension King and if so what was your experience?  Also, any other suggestions?
