coil springs

[meweehaa]

I have a 69 coupe with a 302. I have standard springs cut down 1 turn and te car still rides pretty high in the front. Are the 620# 1" drop ok as a replacement to get it down? Should I replace them with the 620s?

620s are probably going to be equivalent to the springs you have now that are cut. Have you dont a shelby drop?

I agree 620s would probably be equivalent to what you have now, try cutting coils off the 620s, that should do the trick. Or just get a bigger, heavier engine to weigh the front end down

When cutting 620's to lower the car you need to measure the coil and remove approximately 1.25 inches from the center section.


Find a coil spring shop near you. I used one in Concord CA. (Coil Springs Inc.) and they made the springs for my kitty then after all was installed I took the car back to them and they adjusted the level. Less than $150 One inch drop and stays level in the corners. Ride is not too bad.

Why not cut another coil off?

you can get some 620 one inch drop springs for 60 bucks
i would think that new designed springs are safer/better than old cut ones for several reasons

the ones i have aren't old just stock and cut down 1 coil. the thing is the car still sits high.

i put some 1" lowering springs on mine, and it did the trick (not in the vid)
might be a hair too low actually (or i could probably get slightly smaller tires)

of course we have different year cars - so thats something to consider too

old height

new springs
