With Energy Susp bushings, what are the best (budget) recommended front coil springs? I'm not looking to lower anything, just give my '68 LM a good stance. It's a big block car, and ride stiffness is not necessarily an issue. I'm looking to spend around $100 for the pair.

All sage advice appreciated, A.A.

A trip to your local auto parts store should net you exactly what you're looking for at the price you're willing to pay (stock replacement springs). What do you mean by "Big Block", does it have a Chevy engine in it? If so, order springs for a Chevelle with a big block.

Try ESPO Springs 'n Things at www.espo.com . They offer all the stock springs as well as performance oriented springs at very reasonable prices.

With a big block definately get the 396 Chevelle springs, a chevrolet big block is a lot heavier than a Pontiac.

Sorry guys; I keep calling the 455 a "big block" from my days with Buicks and Chevys.
Basically, it's just a '68 LM with no air and a 455.
Thanks

AA:

They knew that; they were just a-bustin' your stones. "Big Block" is a term, when used in the description of a traditional Pontiac engine, makes us loyalists seethe.
