Default B/M 69 Camaro front springs

Reading about the Oldham black car, the article from 91 says that motion installed springs that gave the car an aggressive look. The remake of the original stolen car has this same stance. Could anyone help with a spring rate, part number or? I would like to achieve the same height on my car.

I think what was more common was to keep the factory springs and use a spacer underneath. I have some of the spacers and they sit in the lower control arm with the spring on top.

You know, I thought about that. I have never seen these spacers offered in recent memory, so I assume they are difficult, translated expensive, to obtain.

These are very similar to the old school ones that I have.

I looked at the ad and it states can be installed without a spring compressor ... it'd be interesting to see how the heck that is accomplished ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
