Ken - have set of front springs on our '79 Trans Am WS6 Y84 4-spd purchased from HO Racing IIRC were supposed to drop 1/2 to 1" from stock IIRC - Yes?

I may still have the HO box in garage. These springs (HO Racing) are great enhancement of the factory WS6 coupled with the KONI Red Shocks.

If I wanted to purchase another set of similar front springs - where & what specs do you recommend I look for? Thx!
