Front Coil Spring Replacement
I am looking for advice on front coil spring replacement. I recently upgraded the rear suspension with composite spring, bushings, shock mounts and adjustable struts.
My question is how do you know when front coils need to be upgraded/replaced? My '73 has original springs and I don't know whether to replace them or not. I plan to rebuild the front end (bushings, tie-rods, ball joints, etc.) but am unsure what to do about the springs. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

VP & Products can advise you on your front end rebuild, I put 460's in the front of my 73 and they have been fine. If they are origionals like mine were they will just fall out and are easy to replace and cut for the height your looking for....

use the search function and search for "ride height" , "coil springs", "springs" a.s.o.....
depending on your desired ride height you might want to get the 550s from VBP
