Thanks, I finally got some Coil Springs Specialties installed. They are 290#/in and a real SB to install. one side is 27" and other 27 1/2". I'm going to put 500 miles on them and see if they need to drop a tad farther. I'm not in any hurry to replace them again!!! John

The car measures 29-1/2" to the point of the fender molding. Would be high for a street car but perfect for the old school A/FX look i wanted.

If I was you John I would keep what you have, they WILL settle a bit over time.

JMHO,

This is the spring compressor that I found works best ... Compresses 15" spring to 11" if needed & fits through the bottom opening.
The spring on the left is a stock one, center is the weak Kanter supplied who buys them from Eaton who in turn buys them from Moog. Spring on the right is Coil Spring Specialties ... notice how they are machined flat on the top like the stock spring. John
