I currently have Moroso drag springs up front. To be honest, I love how the car sits now and also love the cushy ride. What I don't like is bottoming out if I hit a dip in the road at a good cruising speed. Was hoping maybe you guys can help me out finding a spring that will give me the same stance and still have a comfortable ride. Maybe there's a Moog spring that I can use? I'd like to avoid "lowering" springs due to there stiff rating. Couple pics below of how the car sits.


Weight factors...

Big Block
Aluminum heads, radiator, intake, water pump
No AC or Heater components


My crossmember currently has 5" of ground clearance
Measurement from ground to fender lip is 25"

Can provide other info if needed.

Springs are more of an art than a science - there are so many factors that it often takes some experimenting to find the stance you want.

We charge $155-195 for a custom big block springs built to spec. Basically, we take all of your measurements and criteria and pass it along to the spring engineer, and they develop the spring.

My '69 is similar. Still need to install them, but I've zero'd in on 5372's. 1840 load at 11" compressed ht. Have 5390's in there now with a little more than 1/2 coil cut off.

You can figure this out real easy. Need to measure the spring compressed ht (guessing you are about 9.5-10" compressed ht (stock ht is 11" compressed) and get the front end of the car weighed.
