So my son and I installed the new brakes day before yesterday.  Changed the oil in both cars while we were at it.  Runs and stops good.

But, while at the back, I noticed a single spring in the back.  Where would identifying marks be on that puppy?  I'll post a picture as soon as my camera recharges.  No complaints, just want to know what it is for future reference.

Got under there to take the picture and the label nearly bit me.  360 pound Vette Brakes and Products Fiberglass Monospring.

I wonder what other surprizes I'll find as time goes by.

That's a nice upgrade from what I here.  I had original springs in the last '67 Camaro I redid and they don't do anything good for your kidneys.
