Default Re: Front coil spring options?

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 have a set of the "trick springs". And thanks for informing me of the cut amount. But I would like to find out how much Todd cut, so I can test to see what spring will give me the best result.
