I called Hochkins they said to use the big block springs for my 68. Now after seeing this maybe I should go with their small block springs front and rear????
Or maybe go to eibach springs???
I ready to order my springs now, what brand should I go to for a 1" to 1-1/2" drop?
Eibach or hotchins?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Guy - I think the Hotchkis small block's would give you little over an inch drop. Maybe the big block springs are a little shorter but stiffer. So it's possible they could give basically the same amount of drop, but be better suited for the weight of the Pontiac engine? When I got mine there was not a choice -- only the original (small block) springs were available. I'm pleased with the ride so don't know that I would want anything different (other than another half inch lower).
I looked on Eibach's website and see they call for "small block" springs with all Pontiacs (with 1.3"/1.3" drop for GTO's). I have Eibach Pro-kit springs (with Koni shocks) on my BMW 330i and really like them as well. I know you can't compare between vehicles, but I think both companies build quality products and either would probably work out just fine for you.
BTW, the small/big block choice is only on the front -- rears are the same.
