This might sound stupid but i want to lift the front end more. Cant see real good in my sig but i replaced the front springs years ago and it sags to me. Who has a part number for max lift front springs or raised spindles...? do they make them like the drop ones...? I hope this is not a stupid question...? The Black Chevelle on this board with the wild headers you can see from the front is what i want it to sit like...thanks..

Re: Hight lift front springs ?

No such thing as "raised" spindles

Nothing good comes from lifting a car... it screws up the geometry, causes bad tire wear, makes it harder to get a decent alignment, makes them handle nothing short of terrible, increases braking distances, etc... and that's just the front, in the rear it also induces violent wheelhop.

If that's the look you want, go right ahead, but it will drive like crap.

Re: Hight lift front springs ?

Do you remember what springs you put in there when you changed them? If I remember correctly they make a small-block w/ ac, small block w/o ac, big block w/ ac, and a big block w/o ac. It is possible that you chose the wrong spring for your application. Most Chevelles came from the factory with the front end slightly higher than the back end. This is also how I prefer them. Not everyone is into lowered cars with low profile tires. My car currently has the original front springs that are sagging pretty good. I would like to change them out for something that sits a little higher also. I think if you simply replaced your current springs with big block with ac springs it would probably raise it to where you want it. Beautiful car by the way. I used to work in Canton a few years back. I really hated the winters there.
