Granada springs are about the same length (I think 1/8" longer or something), but the loacating dowel is about 1" forward of the Mavericks, I noticed this on my Versailles because I used the Versailles' 4th leaf on my Maverick, I suppose JC figured they were 'close enough,' I agree with rickyracer that JC Whitney is a generic company, they don't make their products so you never know what you are getting, sometimes it may be great (I think others have bought Maverick springs with good results) but other times it isn't, but there is no way to tell until you get it.
: ok guys here go's! I bought a set of springs from JC Whitney,stk.No.97ly7891rf,I got them on the 28th of march,just been sitting untill this last week,asked a friend of My son to put them in for me,well he take the car all day and then comes back and charged me $75.00 and no springs installed ,said they were the wrong ones,so not his fault,I pay Him and an POed,so I measure them and I say these are the right springs.So I get under the car Yesterday and drop the rear and pull the springs off and install one new one,It bolts right up to the spring hanger and rear shackle,however the locateing dowel is 1" off,there is no way that this spring will work!
: the springs came from JR Spring Service in Warren MI,there stock # is 42-717-269-B.
: Has anyone had this problem before?
