I think he went out of business...and for good reasons.
cut and paste from the site
http://www.landrumspring.com/racing/technical.html
is the following
----------
Fiberglass Leaf Spring - The fiberglass leaf spring is made of a mixture of
plastic fibers and resin; it is lighter than all other springs. However, the
cost is three times greater. The disadvantage is that they produce
inconsistent spring rates. In addition, fiberglass springs are sensitive to
heat. The resins break down when exposed to heat and heat cycles (produced
from exhaust and/or brake systems) which will cause the resin in the spring
to become brittle, resulting in the spring collapsing. Another problem
occurs with nconsistent resin mix which will cause the leaf to splinter and
break. Furthermore, the fiberglass spring is susceptible to damage from
rocks and debris.
