From a stance - originally built, is the front suppose to have a slight increase higher than the back? I know this is personal preference for what you like, but was just wondering for future reference.

I chose this spring because it is close to the factory Z28 and it was recommended. I know there is a 6312, but have no experience.

I will post pictures once I have new tires installed and an alignment.

I had used Eaton for a big block, auto & a/c Pace car. I tried three sets of springs and spoke with them several times, at the end they said "try these". That's when I searched for another supplier (listed in Hemmings)located in Kansas back in 1994. His springs were perfect the first time!

As far as ride heights check the assembly manual, which has dimensions front and rear. I believe the rear is slightly lower....

got it - thanks for the thoughts

sometimes i see it as an experiment - tried some, replace and replace again...not sure i ever hit it right the first time :-(

There is no residence at 2910 Red River St. in Austin, TX.

Not saying it isn't POSSIBLE that the original homes have been leveled and commercial buildings put in place, but it seems odd to me that most fake POPs have a non existent address.

That area did have homes into the '70s but was totally reconfigured by the 1980s into what we see today.

Hey Steve, the Moog 6308's I just got have a black vinyl coating. Did you repaiint yours or going with bare steel?

:hmmm:

I am pretty sure my car has the 6308s. I will check. Mine were bare steel and used rust prevention magic on them.

I might have a good front height picture I can post

My tag is 03D with a 0307 DZ stamp

Not the best picture. My car had 12,000 miles and the front springs were shot. Original owner had drag shocks and the twist in spacers in the springs when i got it

Here is a picture of my JL8 Z/28 when it was brand new with the window sticker in the window. Ride height is pretty low.

The '69 Z/28 only had two front spring rates available. The standard front spring which is found on most '69 Z/28's is 3955720. Those GM springs turn up on eBay from time to time NOS.

Moog 6308 front springs

Here's my car with the moog 6308 front springs installed.
Tires rear 225-70-15 & front 215-70-15

Steve - your car looks perfect IMHO. Cars that sit lower (even though they may be the same as they left the factory) just look a little “tired” to me. Personal preference I guess.

Nailed it Steve, especially with the 70-series tires.
