I have called all over looking for new rear springs for my car and I can not get anything other than stock springs. It looks like they have been on backorder since MAY? Anyone have a pair they want to sell or a source that may have them? I have also heard about progressive rate springs but can not find those either... Looking for a lowering spring with between 100 and 140 pounds.


Any ideas or suggestions???

As I have said many times before we hate to reproduce what someone is already doing and weltmeister performance products now eckler's had been making the springs. We because our friends at Troutman did not want to make the original stock springs, had them made at what we think is the premier spring manufacturer in the country, and have offered them as an addition to the weltmeister 100 140 and 180 lb springs as well as the GPR progressive 165 lb springs.
Seems like now Eckler's may not want to make them anymore, and if so we will step up. What we would need is a set of the 140 lb and the 100 lb new if any one has a set to lend. If so we will give them their set back and a free new set when they are run. Since we are already setup to run springs the whole process of making plenty of 100 140 and 180 will only take a month! they can be very cheap too!

I would be in for either 100 or 140!
I would even be down for a set of the progressive.
