Sorry if I am bringing up something that was discussed fairly recently but I'm not accessing anything in the archives.

I need to replace my rear leaf springs--should I be going to a UK source or Moss? Information on any recent experiences with whatever sources will be appreciated.
 
Michael,

I recall that Roger Moment said that Moss was importing a higher quality UK product lately. This link has some info:

Hi Michael,
The quote above is the last that I have heard about the Moss springs. It is a quote from a couple of years ago. I personally would use the Moss springs. I would replace all of the associated bushings & hardware also. Old suspension metal is likely to develop fatigue fractures & this is not a good place to have things breaking.
