Not trying to hijack the OP's thread, but would like to have some advice and opinions on springs. This is my 74 BB Vert when purchased 6 years ago. As you can see (at least to me) the ride height seems perfect with the stock suspension. I have the 550 replacement springs for the front (brand new) and already used the 340 lb rear spring in my 82.
I am thinking about just reusing the front stock springs and possibly use another 340 lb spring for the rear, or just rebuild the stock rear spring. I would like to keep the ride height shown in the pics.
Thanks for any comments.........................Tom

I had Bilstein HD's with my 360 composite spring and felt it was not enough damping although MUCH better than the KYB gas a just. Bilstein Sports (30% stiffer than the HD's) in the rear now and they are perfect...
