Are they really no good.  I bought a set and now am not sure if I want to install them or look for some used ones to restore.  I'm talking about the "hemi" springs  for 440's and hemi installations with the uneven leaves.  Not the SS ones.  Do they sag or what?

yes they sag , you can add an extra main leaf from your old spring pack & make them work though , you will need new center bolts

Thanks.  I guess the hunt is now on to find some used rear springs I can rebuild.

Many guys buy the Espo springs and have been happy for the most part. I got Espo and last night I finally set the car on the floor to find it sitting about 11/16" higher on the passenger side. :P The front suspension hasn't been adjusted yet though so hopefully messing with that will get it sitting closer to level.

I used Eaton's on my car.  Pricey but well made.

On the Eaton Spring did you get the standard ride height or one of their optional pieces available to increase the ride height up or down by 3 inches in 1 inch increments?  I was kind of thinking that the +1 inch increase in height might be good.  They are pricey at $260 each but made in the USA.  They may have been the OEM for Chrysler for rear springs.  I didn't check on the price of the ESPO springs yet.

OK.  I looked online and see that ESPO can also offer the springs in the increased ride heights.  They don't put the spring prices online.  You have to call them.  From further reading, the OEM spring (6,7 leaves---R/T) will have the car sitting pretty much level.

I got the standard ride height ones.
