Re: 1969 nova big block springs
You could try an aftermarket race coil like santhuff. They have different rates available and are a loooog coil. I've stuffed them in a BB 69 Camaro before and needed to trim about a coil off to get down to ride height. They are "drag" springs though but if it's sitting that high up handling will already be compromised a little.
They are a BEAR to install. We used a "through the shock hole" style compressor to pull the spring into the pocket and still had to drop the control arm bolts to get them in (at original length).
