Front Spring suggestions
Hello Everyone,
I have rebuilt the front suspension on my '72 Vette and now I am interested in replacing the front springs as the originals seem a bit worn. I am interested in lowering the front end by about 1" to close up the fender to tire gap a little. Could someone give me a suggestion as to what type/brand of springs to get?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

I just installed some Vette Brake (VBP) 460 springs and I am ready to go offroadin'! I need to cut a coil or 2 off. I am running alum heads and intake so that might account for some of it plus I have not had the end and trans in very long or on its tires long so it might settle slightly but I still think I will need to cut a coil to get it low. Others have stated they cut a coil or 2 after intstall to get a lower ride height.
