Guys, hopefully someone has run across this before?
Are big block coil springs from a '69 Camaro the same as the ones found in '68-'72 SS big block Chevelles?
A local guy has a set of NOS coil springs and the price is very good. Just need to know if they will work in my A body with the big block?
All help and opinions appreciated!

According to Moog applications for front springs the 67-69 Camaro has both tangential ends same as the 64-67 Chevelle.The 68-72 Chevelle have one squared and one tangential end. In 70 Camaro changed to the later Chevelle style.

I dont think they are the same, I put 66 chevelle front springs in a 69 camaro and had to cut the coils to get the right ride height. Worked great once they were cut down.

I did the reverse. I am using early Camaro sb springs in my 66. They are shorter than the listed Chevelle sb springs so I got the slight front drop I was looking for.
