Front coil springs

Run to Rund · 01-11-2021, 10:22 AM

If the Camaro is like the A-body spring seats, both upper (in the frame) and lower (the A arm) are formed and the end of the spring should seat near the end of the formed cup, with sight holes to help. I have a BB Olds F85 and run Moog/McQuay etc. 5230 with 3/8 coil cut from each end. That gives the correct wire end relations and avoids getting into the part of the spring where the coils start getting far apart, which keeps it from seating level.
