[Oeva-list] EV suspenssion

[Micheal Drewry]

Thanks Mark.  I gave Oregon Auto Spring a call, but they only handle leaf springs.  They did point me to Curran Coil in Willsonville that can make new ones for me.  They are a bit spendy ($350-$500 a pair) so I'm still looking around for other options before I take that path.
