Ok...I am looking for new coil springs for my 67 and I have noticed a big price difference. PY wants $197 for all 4 (front and back). Ames wants $184. Original Parts Group wants $174....
I called the Coilspring place and they want over $275. Are these all pretty much the same thing? Robert

Try your local parts house. I bought springs for my 69 at the AC Delco chain.

I've heard a lot of horror stories from people that have bought cheap springs. Uneven height, sits too low etc. I use eaton detroit spring, the oem supplier for GM for many years, they are a little higher than your parts store, but you won't be disappointed.

I ordered all my springs directly from Eaton. As mentioned, they are the origional supplier and believe me, all tolerances were perfect. Also, these guys are very helpful over the phone. They will ask you if you have modified the car in any way. Any deletion of A/C or other will make a difference. I even asked them to reduce the load rate to lower the car 1 inch all the way around and the response was "no problem".

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
