Front shock helper springs

[mfg]

Years ago I purchased a pair of ‘helper’ coil springs that fit around and fastened to the front shock absorbers, and inside the main coil spring.

I’ve  recently installed new HD front coil springs and gas shocks on my ‘56 Golden Hawk, but that heavy Packard engine still tends to pull the nose down.

Does anyone on this forum know of a source for the type of helper springs I’ve described? … I haven’t been able to find these locally anymore… or on the internet…,. Thanks folks!

I’ve no idea if these are even made anymore…shades of JC Whitney catalogs!  Maybe a big auto swap meet would be the place to to find some NOS.  A road trip to Carlisle sounds in order.

Your JC Whitney reference made me laugh… but you’re exactly correct that items like these could be found in that great old catalog!

I was hoping there still might be a source somewhere… or even a used set…they really can’t go bad !
