Front springs 67 camaro
I recently bought some Santhuff springs for my 67 camaro. They are the 18 x 5 x 180 lbs/inch set. They do set a bit high about an 1" off the upper control arm bump stops. I have the stock control arm bushings in the car and have all 8 of them loose so the control arms do rotate freely. I plan on replacing them with the afco bushings. I would like to get the car to sit a little lower.
The car weighs 2800lbs. 1596lbs on the nose 1204lbs on the rear. Does anyone run the 150lbs springs on the front of a first generation camaro? I would rather buy a set and try them rather than cutting these. Santhuff says they will trade me out, but I think a 150lb may be a little to low! |

My nova has the same weight bias that your car has. I have the 150's in my car and it is low. My car has a 26 inch tall tire. I like the front ride height on my car, but I don't like the height in the rear. You can buy the 150's and put a spacer pad under the spring.

That looks a little low for me...but like you said, I could get some spacers. I talked with Santhuff on the phone and he advised me to just cut the flats off of what I have. I will give that a shot. Thanks for the post and the picture.
