Coil springs

[L72COPO]

I'm looking for any suggestions/tips for sourcing replacement front coils on my GTO. Most of the aftermarket stuff has gone pretty generic over the years and tend to set to high. Eaton spring has stopped offering all the different variations and their stuff now seems to be suspect.
Has anyone tried Coil Spring Specialties out of St. Marys, Kansas? They are offering a product that they claim is designed for actual OE ride height based on vehicle options vs. the generic replacement springs.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

I just put new coils in my 66 442 W30, The car had the originals. Thhe front and back end came up a fair amount but stayed level. i am hoping for some settling over the summer.
I noticed the diameter of the old springs was thicker than the diameter of the new ones.

Coil Spring Specialties...out in Kansas somewhere. I've used them in the past on a recommendation from Dan Jensen, and I'll use them again.

Rob, do they actually cut to exact GM specs accoding to spring # or is it more of a generic spring? I think what Don mentioned is now true of Eaton. I called them about some springs for my '69 Bel Air and what they read me back was not the correct spring for the engine and weight of my car. For the money they charge for their springs, it seemingly should be correct.

Mr. Stowers, Not sure if this place would have what you are looking for, but wanted to post another option.

It's been a couple years ago, but iirc they had me fill out a sheet listing each & every option on my car...I hate the high-jacker look as well, and had seen their springs on other cars and they looked/sat great.

On Poncho stuff, a quick call to Scott Tiemann would absolutely guarantee a *correct* source.

I know where you can get a 'smokin' deal' on a pair that are on the front of a '69 Camaro out in the Seattle area...maybe they'll fit! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
