Re: [Chevelle-list] coil springs continued

    Why go out on your own?- When the engineers who wrote the book & built
the car want the end of the spring between the 2 holes.   I installed mine
IAW the Assembly Manual & haven't had a problem.

  If you are installing a special application spring, you might want to call
the vender/manufacturer and hear what they say, otherwise with a stock
replacement spring I'd install it IAW the Assembly Manual.
