Default 1980 front springs

I am in the process of rebuilding the front end of my 1980. Since I have the blown 427, I need a stronger spring than the stock ones. Can anyone recommend a stiffer spring to help with the added weight but yet get me the same ride height? Thank you

The big block 550# springs should work fine for you application. You can get them at most Corvette Vendors - CORVETTE COIL SPRING - FRONT 550 LB STREET AND SLALOM only $80 and they drop the front about one inch.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there anything out there with a 550lb rating that doesn't lower the front end? I am working on getting side pipes on the car and want to try and keep the stock ride height.
