Hopefully someone can give me an answer. I have a new pair of moog coil springs for a 1969 Impala 2 door with a 350. I want to know if they''ll fit on a 71 chevelle. I relize the Impala is a bigger car and so the spring rate is heavier, But I am looking to stiffen my front suspension when It is rebuilt. I've also considered that this could raise the front end so the plan is to trim the springs to drop it a little,I would actually prefer a slite drop from stock 1''-2''. I did see an article where a guy had run a set 0f 70' chevelle big block springs on his 68' Impala so Im thinking a swap is possible. I just don't want to stiffen things up so much that I do damage. If anyone knows suspension interchange I'd appreciate the help.

What is the free length, coil wire diameter, number of active coils, and diameter of the entire assembly?

Im not sure My current suspension has'nt been broken down yet. I was hoping that someone would know so that if I can use these springs, the car would be down for less time, than if I have to wait on new springsand these springs were free so I was hoping to save some money
