HQ springs GM# 3955724
 

Trying to find a replacement set of front coils for GM# <span style="font-weight: bold">3955724</span> tag#<span style="font-weight: bold"> HQ</span>

Strange that the Camaro spring code chart does NOT show &quot;HQ&quot; springs?? It seems the load on these springs are 1830lbs and the rate is 345lbs/inch. I'm trying to match this spring as close as possible. The height is perfect for my SS396.

I think a common BB spring was the &quot;HH&quot;...same as a Nova...of course other things impacted spring selection...including trans options, special suapension, a/c. etc...

Anyway...you should be able to get them from Eaton for your exact application.

Thanks Wilma. Yeah I sent Eaton an email.

Heard back from Eaton. Almost a waste of time. They want to sell me the MC 1266 stock spring on their site. 1725 lbs load and 330 lbs/inch was the rate. This is after I gave them the GM#, the spring specs and everything. Any Big Block guys out there ?? What springs did you use??

Thanks Barry. I have been on every Camaro Vendor site I could think of. Not much help. Heartbeat City offers exact replacements. They don't know the specs of each spring though. Go figure??

Re: HQ springs GM# 3955724
 

Don, do you have the specs for this spring #3952818 GW?

Re: HQ springs GM# 3955724
 

Looks like the rate is 320 lbs/inch Here is an old Chevelle thread.

HQ I believe was a late spring as it is in the 1970 Nova chart but not the 1969. It should be the same spec as the &quot;HA&quot; code. Heatbeat City has 3955724 HA The spring height and rates went in numerical order. So 3955723 would be a tad bit shorter and 3955725 a tad bit taller.

Click here to see what the weight specs say your spring should be for L34/L35/L78. Other spring calculators are on my project page.
