on my 67 camaro when i bought it it had big block springs on the front so i put in some moroso small block trick front springs and put the ride height where i wanted it at but the guy before me has on there nut and bolt setup for a bumpstop the question is should i leave them on or take them off of the car it will defiantly hit them now more than before with the stiffer springs compared to the lighter springs

I use a polyurethane traction bar snubber on both the upper and lower A arms on my 68 Camaro for travel limiters. the nut and bolt will be to rigid and will mprobably unload the rear tires when the car landshard and hits the stops on the lower A-arm. The use of a good double adjustable shock on the early camaro's is the best setup and the only way to really control the bouncing after leaving with the wheels in the air. also look at your inner wheel wells and make sure the tires are not rubbing when the car comes down from a wheelstand. This condition will make the car inconsistent.
