Coil Spring Specialties - Kansas City. I forgot if it was KC MO or KC KS.
This is the way to do it right. Glad to hear your going this route! There springs will last and provide consistant performance as opposed to the cheap springs.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Santhuff makes coil springs for OEM replacement. Replacement of a factory suspension with an aftermarket coil-over suspension is not legal in S/SS. Sam runs an A-Body Cutlass 442.

Yes they do make an OEM style replacement spring. At least for Camaros, Chevelles and Novas. I run a set of their front springs in my 69 Nova.

My front end weight with driver is 1925 lbs, went with Santhuff 5"x18"x200lb springs, and weight transfer hasnt been a problem since ;)

I just installed a set of Santhuff 200# front spings in my D/SA stocker with 1975 pounds on the front. Car sinks to about 3/4 of an inch off the stops. I wanted to see how much the car would lift on launch so I grabbed the wheel well with one hand and the front with the other and the car didn't lift with much stored energy. Does your car lift easy or is this normal?

Thanks!

I have polygraphite bushings in upper and lower control arms and the front lifts very easy, I have Santhuff shocks too, set on full stiff they dont compress very easy ;)
