'66 327 w/ AC coupe suspension springs help
my corvette rubs the battery access cover when I turn the steering wheel to the left.
I am thinking to replace the coil springs and the rear leaf spring but I see zip corvette has a few options and corvette central has more options.
Where's the best place to get this stuff?
How do I know what springs and leaf spring I need?

There are a lot of things that need to be checked before you start throwing springs at it.
The AIM has suspension height spec's that should be checked and will tell you if your springs are sagging.
As was asked - what tires are you using?

You might be able to correct this with the alignment settings. Look at the lock to lock steering wheel specs, make sure they are equal turning left and right. Then the usual Align. settings. My guess is Toe-in is correct but not centered.

That will help, if you look down a few threads, you’ll see my AC coupe, which is pretty low and doesn’t touch anywhere with 205/70s so it’s possible something is off.
