It's Vette Brakes and Products. They are only recommended for 400 hp and less though.

Okay... nothings perfect... so what's the down side to fiberglass leafs? I'm sure they deteriorate, so what's the life expectancy?

Actually, the up side is that they aren't supposed to deteriorate or lose arch like the steel springs. I guess the downside is the cost, and the fact that there is the potential for breakage, which could be nasty. A steel spring may get bent I suppose with enough power, but the 'glass leaf could break.

the fiberglass can literally unravel itself if it gets a scratch in it. they are supposedly fine as long as they are unscratched.

I'm using the Vette products fiberglass springs on my 67 and on the 70.

When I put them on the 70, I had a muffler clamp cut a small groove in one of them at max suspension travel.

Fibers were sticking out of the "injury".

9 years later, it hasn't unravelled or gotten any worse.

I'd recommend them highly.
