Springs for a 57 Chev .........................
 

Front springs for an old school 57 Chevy SS type of car. Moroso or Moog ? Does anyone have part numbers for springs that work in the front these old girls ? Thanks in advance,

I do not have any numbers, but, I believe the spring you are looking for is a 1963 Buick special rear spring. You are taxing my old brain but I think this is what you are looking for. A very tightly wound spring with a lot of stored energy. We used this spring on a 1956 chev and a 1958 corvette. I hopes this helps. I am quite sure about the year, but you should check to make sure. Any spring catalog should give you the right size if I have the wrong year.

The Moroso 47150 fits the '55-'57 Chev but also other applications...think the Camaro
and maybe Chevelle...

They might work right out of the box...but you may have to trim them a bit...to get what
you're looking for...(ride height, etc...)

Think that many, many years ago...before Moroso sold these...guys were using front
springs from an early Chevelle listing...thought I saw that once in a '55-'57 build
in a magazine.....

I used '64 Chevelle, 6 Cyl 2dr sedan front springs in my old '56 Chevy Jr Stocker. Longer @ wound from much smaller wire than the originals. Moroso came out with their springs several years later. Moog had a catalog listing coils by wire dia, coil dia, length and spring rate. My first set came from an auto salvage.

Sorry. Not sure how I did this twice. Would delete this if I could.

Hi Wayne. Have you looked at Calvert's stuff. They do carry them for your '57. They come in three different (loered) ride heights. They are a little pricey tho. But what isnt in this sport right....
