The rear springs in my daughter's 244 are getting a bit soft. It will scrape bottom going into a strip mall with folks in the rear seats.

Replacement springs do not seem to be widely available. Only one place here in town carries them.

A couple of options. I'm thinking of trying to get a set of used springs off a wagon. Since these springs are heavier duty to start with, a set of "experienced" wagon springs might just get this car thru the next year or so before I sell it.

I'm also wondering if any springs for more common cars might work. I remember reading on this site where the blower motor for a 240 was the same as some American brand and cound be had for much less if you specified the American model car.

What do you all think might be the best route
