Front and Rear Springs for a 1974 GP
I recently purchased a 1974 Grand Prix Model J with front and rear factory sway bars and have it stored for the winter. When I brought it home I noticed the springs seem soft and worn out and suspect I will need to replace them when I get it out in the spring. I noticed looking for springs that it is easy to find a variable-rate rear, almost impossible to find a standard rear spring (constant rate) and just as hard to find a front spring for a car with factory A/C! OPGI has the constant rate rear, and Rock Auto has the front (Husky Brand) for A/C cars.
What I would like to know is who has experience with any of these on their 73-77 and is it good or bad. I have used variable rate coils on several vehicles in the past, station wagons I was using for hauling both a trailer and stuff packed in the back. Would that be a good choice for a non-daily driver or would I be better off with a constant rate spring? Are the springs sold through OPGI any good? Anyone have any experience with Husky Springs, if so are they any good? Thank you in advance. Tom
