I’ve been trying to locate a decent set for a few months and...nothing!
Thought I had located new ones that were identical to the originals with general spring even calling to verify I would get what was pictured on their website.
First photo from their site, second photo what I got.
Now the fun begins trying to return them.

I just changed mine out to a set I got from Mancini a few years ago.... I too can see a difference in the shape...it very nearly comes into play too, as they now come very close to the body structure.

I have a pair from my 68 Charger. I swapped in a set of Hotchkis Performance shackles a few months ago to raise my drive line angle a little.
These are the stock 3.5" long with new poly bushings and grease.
They had rust on them. I soaked them in a Molasses bath for a couple weeks and painted them with Eastwood's Chassis Black paint back in 2014. They were on my car until this last summer. The Poly Bushings are new and came with the Hotchkis shackles. $100.00 shipped
