My 70 GTO rocker panel height is 8" front and 9" rear, even on both sides. Shop manual says height should be 9.6" front/9.1" rear. I never replaced the springs, so it's probably time to. Tires a 225 70R14, on 14x6 wheels. Recent install of headers are giving me only about 3" clearance.
I guess I need to do 2 things-put new coil springs in and get a taller tire (or wheel/tire combo).

What's a good source for coil spring purchase? I saw some pretty big price differences between Original Parts Group and Year One alone.

Any recommendations on a good tire/wheel combo that will get me the right height? I prefer to keep the 14x 6 wheels, since they're redone, but can get a set of 15 x 7's, I think.
Thanks
