Now I know why I got the second set of springs returned un-installed! I
was thinking you were losing it but didn't have the time to contact you to
find out what was going on.
You weren't a PITA but I have to admit selling suspension components can
be. Land Rover considered a 1" variation in spring height to be within spec
but try telling that to someone that just spent $500 on a new suspension. I
wouldn't consider it acceptable so I don't expect you to either.
Leaf springs are a fairly crude technology - design and manufacturing, so
some variations are normal. We match up all of the springs we send out by
setting them on the shop floor and comparing heights etc.
We still sell parabolic springs but have to admit we have de-emphasized
them a bit. We're not sure we have ever made a dime selling them!
