Leaf springs aren't worth re-arching, generally. An exception applies to the rear leaf springs of a straight axle Corvette, the C-1s. They had a groove down the center of the leaf steel, which is no longer made.

There is only one correct way to re-arch a spring. Anneal, reheat, reform and shape, and reheat treat - a very financially draining process. Hence, re-arching is only worth it for high point show cars.

If you share the specs of your vehicle with us, we can manufacture a fresh set of leaf springs for you! Visit our online database to find your vehicle's springs, attaching parts, and even classic original brochures: https://www.eatondetroitspring.com/fi...
