Front coil spring options?
Since you guys helped me out so much on my shock questions, I'm starting to wonder about springs. This car ('76 Nova) has cut stock front coils and I was just going to put them back in. Should I "spring" for some good ones? Will it be worth the investment? If so, who do I call? Thanks in advance!

Todd, if it was mine, I'd go back together with what was in there, at least to start with. The front shock change may be all you need. Stockers can be fussy with the front springs. But not always. There's a balance between ride height, stored energy (to get the car up) and control when the front end comes down.
Starting with what worked pretty well isn't a totally bad approach. ;) -Al |

I would go with the morose small block springs cut to eleven coils. I don't remember how much you cut to get them at eleven. It may sit a little high at first but will settle. Make certain you get the springs in the notches.

I would go with a Santhuff spring right off the bat.You may have to give them your front end weight.after that there's no cutting involved.They cost a bit more but don't sag after awhile like a moroso. gsa612

I believe santhuff sells Landrum coils....
I went with the 180# springs. I haven't had my car on the ground with the front sheet metal but I bet I end up cutting a coil or 2. After all the research I did on front springs, the consensus was they store the most energy but running down the track you have that nose high stocker... |
