First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Timothy,
Here is a good list of MOOG springs: http://bbb-carb.com/moog_Coil_Springs.htm For reference my old Bird has the 6310's but it is a coupe with 400 engine, headers, no A/C and aluminium intake so it's not really comparable. It rides quite high though. They never bottom out but they are to soft in my personal opinion. Here's a picture: http://firstgenfirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=360 /Niklas ........................................................................ . My bottom line question is: Will front coil springs for a 67 GTO A-body fit my 68 Firebird F-body? I have a 68 Firebird convertible, and with my big block engine etc., I am putting 2260 pounds on the front axle. The standard Firebird front coils can't take the weight and will bottom out. As a matter of fact, I can't find any 67-69 Firebird front coil springs that are rated high enough. So I found some comparable springs for a 67 GTO; rated for 2285 pounds at 331 pounds per inch, 17.78" tall free height, ID of 3.65", with .650 wire. So installed, they should be around 10" or 11" high. Is there any reason these will not work? I also want a standard height - I'm not looking for a 1" or 2" drop, and on the other hand I don't want the front end riding high. Thanks for the help!
