68 Firebird front springs
Have posted under the 67-69 FB forum, but maybe somebody here might have an idea:
My 68 FB convertible w/ 235/60-14” tires and an LS-1 engine conversion sitting on 50 yr. old OEM worn front coils is sitting too low and smacking the header collectors (3.5” road clearance) on some hiway dips & bridge humps. Trying to pick some new front springs …and/or maybe tire size combos that might help this. [any old 60’s FB owners out there w/ 14” wheels/LS engine combos?]
The LS is ~200 lbs. lighter than the 650 lb. stock 350 I had. I’d like to keep my rally wheels since good used 15” rallys are scarce/costly, but I’m lookin for some as an option. Got any idea what new front spring size would work with the 14”s (or 15”s IF I have to upsize)?
Thanks !
